Prophecy is the memory of future history, echoing
across
time and space. Prophecy is a proven talent of the human mind --- one
that
baffles our notions of time, fate, and free will. If a predicted event
does not occur, then the seer has misinterpreted the psychic impression
or was hallucinating. But false prophecies do not disprove or discredit
the many that have been fulfilled. Indeed, many major events have been
foretold with astonishing accuracy. Prophecy has exerted a powerful
influence
on the course of history. Many great historical figures, including
Alexander
the Great, Julius and Augustus Caesar, and George Washington, were
gifted
with prophecy.

The future is revealed to us through dreams,
drugs, religious
epiphanies, magical rituals, schizophrenia, and the mantic arts.
Hundreds
of ancient and modern prophets have given accounts of their visions.
Many
of them are concerned with global catastrophes in the "near future".
Although
no prophets have been 100% accurate, the seers represented here have
made
short- and long-term predictions that were fulfilled during and after
their
lifetimes. Considering the established credibility of these
visionaries,
their warnings of impending doom deserve our close attention. It
behooves
us to know the signs of the times and to recognize the shadows that
great
events cast before them. We should hope for the best and prepare for
the
worst. Those who do not prepare for the worst are asking for it.
Prophecies
can help guide some of us out of harms’ way when "insanity will attack
the spirit of man and unrestrained hate shall rage". In any event, with
grace, courage and love, some of us will survive and thrive to live in
peace at long last.

Time is running out for these prophecies to be
fulfilled
or annulled. It is not too late to heed the warnings and prevent some
disasters.
The outcome of events can be modified by right action, unless and until
it is too late.

2. Aztec
Prophecies
~

Prophecies can be misunderstood, misinterpreted,
and misused,
and they tend to be self-fulfilling. The Spanish conquest of the Aztec
empire is a perfect example of this problem. Toltec legends tell of
Quetzelcoatl,
a white-skinned, bearded priest-king who came from the East to
establish
an enlightened kingdom among the Indians. Eventually he departed by
boat
to the West. Quetzelcoatl promised to return, and as the appointed day
of his second coming approached, heavenly omens indicated that the
Aztec
culture was about to come to an abrupt and violent end.

Nezhaulcoyotl, a king of Texcoco whose reign
bridged the
15th and 16th centuries, also was a great astrologer. He had an
observatory
built on the roof of his palace, and invited other astrologers in his
kingdom
to come to his court. There he disputed with them and taught his
wisdom.
When Moctezuma II was elected king of Mexico, Nezhaulcoyotl praised the
nation for having chosen a ruler "whose deep knowledge of heavenly
things
insured to his subjects his comprehension of those of an earthly
nature." (1)

Nezhaulcoyotl gave Moctezuma II detailed warnings
of a
new astrological age that was beginning in the Aztec calendar. One of
the
omens was a famine which developed in 1507. Then an earthquake occurred
after the "Lighting of the New Age" ceremony inaugurated by Moctezuma
II.
These were sure signs of impending disaster. Each year thereafter until
Hernando Cortes invaded Mexico in 1518, a new omen appeared. A comet
with
three heads and sparks shooting from its tail was seen flying eastward.
In another year, another comet, described as "a pyramidal light, which
scattered sparks on all sides, rose at midnight from the eastern
horizon
till the apex reached the zenith, and faded at dawn." This phenomenon
appeared
for 40 nights, and was interpreted to presage "wars, famine,
pestilence,
and mortality among the lords."

In 1508, Moctezuma II visited Tlillancalmecatl
("Place
of Heavenly Learning"), where he was given a rare bird. In its shiny
crest,
he saw the stars in reflection and "fire sticks" (guns). The image
changed
to show the advance of warriors riding on horses which, since he
had never seen them before, he described as deer.

Also in 1508, Moctezuma’s sister Paranazin
collapsed into
a cataleptic trance that was mistaken for death. She recovered while
the
funeral procession was taking her to the royal crypt. She said that
during
her trance she received a vision of great ships from a distant land
arriving
with men bearing arms, carrying banners, and wearing "metal casques"
(helmets).
The foreigners were to become masters of the Aztecs.

For several days in 1519, a comet hung over the
capital
city of Tenochtitlan. It was described as "a rip in the sky which
bleeds
celestial influences dropwise onto the Aztec world". After that, a
thunderbolt
struck and burned down the temple of the deity Huitilopchitli. The last
omen came one night, again to Tenochtitlan. A woman’s voice was heard
"coming
from everywhere and nowhere... crying 'My children, my children, are
lost!'"

From these and other signs, the Aztecs understood
their
doom as originating with celestial powers. Was it then mere
coincidence,
or did the hands of the Fates steer Cortes’ ships to land on April 22,
1519, the very day that the Aztec calendar calculated for
Quetzelcoatl’s
return at the end of the 13th Heaven and the beginning of the 9 Hells?
It was as though the directing forces of the world had staged the drama
to be acted out by historical characters. Anticipating the momentous
event
of Quetzelcoatl’s return, Moctezuma II had posted watchers on the coast
to draw images of the aliens and deliver them to him. The emperor was
amazed
that the light-skinned, bearded figures matched the traditional
descriptions
of Quetzelcoatl. This case of mistaken identity caused the Aztecs to
put
up little resistance to the Spaniards, who soon conquered the empire.

To prevent mutiny among his troops, Cortes burned
the
ships after they landed. The cavalry-mounted Spanish forces then
quickly
defeated several local tribes who resisted their invasion. When their
chiefs
sued for peace, Cortes gave them his helmet and commanded them to take
it to the emperor and return it filled with gold. The helmet itself was
an object of wonder to the Aztecs: it was almost identical to that worn
by the great deity Huitzilopochtli. Marveling at the similarity, the
emperor
returned the helmet, filled with gold and accompanied by a warning to
come
no closer. But the Spaniard's greed for gold and dominion drew them
inexorably
toward Tenochtitlan.

Though nearly overwhelmed with superstitious fear
of the
mythic Quetzelcoatl, Moctezuma II is said to have greeted Cortes at the
city gates with the words: "O Lord, with what trouble have you
journeyed
to reach us, have arrived in this land, your own country of Mexico, to
sit on your throne, which I have been guarding for you this while; I
have
been watching for you, for my ancestors told that you would return.
Welcome
to this land. Rest a while; rest in your palace."

Although he was outnumbered militarily by more
than 1000
to 1 (Moctezuma's palace guard alone was larger than Cortes'
expedition),
Cortes boldly accepted the offer. In the course of ensuing events, the
Spaniards seized Moctezuma II and displayed the captive king to his
subjects.
Reacting in anger, the people stoned and fatally wounded him. The Aztec
empire fell soon afterwards.

As he lay dying, Moctezuma II had a wondrous
vision. He
told it to Tula, his favorite daughter. Later, she told it to the
Tezcucan
noble Iztlilzochitl, who recorded it:

"To the world I have said farewell. I see its
vanities
go away from me one by one. Last in the train and most loved, most
glittering
is power, and in its hands I see my heart. A shadow creeps over me,
darkening
all without, but brightening all within, and in the brightness, lo, I
see
my people and their future!

"The long, long cycles, two, four, eight, pass
away, and
I see the tribes newly risen, like the trodden grass, and in their
midst
a Priesthood and a Cross. An age of battle more, and lo! There remains
the Cross, but not the priests; in their stead is Freedom and God.

"I know the children of the Aztecs, crushed now,
will
live, and more after ages of wrong suffered by them, they will rise up,
and take their place --- a place of splendor --- amongst the deathless
nations of the earth. What I was given to see was revelation. Cherish
these
words, O Tula; repeat them often, make them a cry of the people, a
sacred
tradition; let them go down with the generations, one of which will, at
last, understand the meaning of the words FREEDOM And GOD, now dark to
my understanding; and then, not till then, will be the new birth and
new
career."

3. Inca
Prophecy
~

In the 14th century, almost 200 years before
Pizzaro arrived
to conquer the Incas, a young prince had a dream in which a spirit
appeared
and identified itself as Viracocha Inca, son of the sun and brother of
the first king of the Inca dynasty. The spirit said that a northern
tribe,
the Chancas, was preparing a revolution against the monarchy, and
serious
consequences would follow. The Chancas did rebel, and the prince
subdued
them. But rebellion was common, and the Inca priests concluded that a
much
greater danger was implied in the warning. The priests interpreted
another
meaning: One day, bearded foreigners who were "masters of the
lightning"
would arrive from the sea to herald the fall of the empire.

The prince became the eighth Inca king, and the
people
gave him the name Viracocha. He commissioned the construction of a
temple
with twelve winding halls leading upward to a statue of a tall, bearded
man dressed in a tunic. He held a chained, ferocious animal that had
the
claws of a leopard. King Viracocha carved the statue with his own hands
in order to create an exact image of the spirit in his veridic dream.

Several omens occurred as the years passed. One
day in
the sky over the capitol city of Cuzco, a condor (the sacred messenger
of the sun) was attacked by swarm of falcons. The wounded condor
fell into the city square and was given medical aid by the priests, but
it died anyway. The Inca sages were greatly disturbed because they saw
it as an omen of bad times to come.

In an audience before Huayna Capac, the 11th Inca
king,
a soothsayer interpreted an awesome sign that had appeared in the sky:
three halos (red, green and brown) encircling the moon. The sage said:

"The Moon, your Mother, tells you that Pachacamac,
the
Creator and giver of Life, threatens your Family, your Realm, and
subjects.
Your sons will wage a cruel War, those of royal Blood will die, and the
Empire will disappear."

Since there were only twelve halls in the Temple
of Viracocha,
and Huayna Capac was the 11th king, he correctly feared that the
kingdom
would end with its next ruler. Huayna Capac also worried about a party
of light-skinned, bearded foreigners who had come ashore to the north,
wielding strange weapons that erupted with fire, as spoken of in
earlier
prophecies.

On his deathbed, Huayna Capac addressed his
priests and
officials thus:

"Our father the sun has revealed to me that after
a reign
of twelve Incas, his own children, there will appear in our country an
unknown race of men who will subdue our empire. They doubtless belong
to
the people whose messengers have appeared on our shores. Be sure of it,
these foreigners will reach this country and fulfill the prophecy."

The foreign messengers were Vasco Nunez de Balboa
and
company, which arrived at Tumbes in 1511. The Spaniards returned in
1532,
well armed for conquest under Pizzaro's command. Within a few years
after
the death of Huayna Capac, his two sons went to war against each other.
Atahualpa won and assumed the throne as the 12th Inca, just in time to
receive Pizzaro and lose the empire.

4. Mayan
Prophecy
~

Anthropologist Christian Ratsch translated the
following
sad prophecy of the end of the world according to the religious
tradition
of the peaceful Lacandone Maya of southern Mexico:

"The Lacandone word for ‘world’ is kax,
which means
‘forest’. The forest provides everything useful in Lacandone culture.
And
because of this, the people’s life quite literally depends on the
forest
or the forest ecology.

"The Lacandones are completely aware of the
interlocking
ecological dependencies and do their best to protect the forest from
destruction.
The forest is regarded as a special gift or trusteeship to its
inhabitants
and is treated with the deepest respect...

"The big forest trees are thought to have a soul
in the
shape of a human being. If the tree is alive, the soul’s body will
remain
upside down in the trunk. The arms are divided into the roots, the legs
are inside the branches. If a tree is cut down, the soul will arrive in
the shape of a human being, but with a pierced and bloody throat. If
Hachakyum,
Our True Lord, who is the consciousness of heaven, sees too many of
these
bloody souls, he will get angry and punish the humans for cutting down
more trees than necessary. To avoid Hachakyum’s wrath, which will cause
an ecological disaster, no Lacandone is allowed to cut trees without a
special purpose, either for subsistence or for house construction or
for
dugout manufacture. Since the turn of the century, the Lacandone forest
has been exploited by loggers and different mahogany companies. The
loggers
were followed by settlers not native to the jungle and cowboys
establishing
cattle farms. Today about half of the original rainforest is destroyed
and the whole area shows primary ecological disturbances.

"The peaceful Lacandones await the End of the
World helplessly
--- an end of the world which was prophesied by an inscription on
ancient
stellae at Yachilan, their sacred home, and recorded by Akinchob,
son-in-law
of our True Lord.

"The End of the World will come, so it is said, so
it
was told. Our end will come when there are no more trees. Then, when
all
are cut down, when people are everywhere, when there is no more forest.
So it is said, so it was told by the ancient habo-people. They
said
this:

"Kaxon bake xen, well, if it is true, if
the forest
is overcrowded by people, if there are settlements all over, built up
by
the kah-people, which are settling close together, when all the
trees are cut down, when there are no more mahogany trees, when all
trees
are destroyed, when only the hills remain, then the end of the world
will
come. Not now, but very soon. The end will reach us. This is said. Our
end will come. Nothing will be left of us.

"It is said, but who really knows, if it will be a
storm
or if it will be the sun, which will burn us, which will destroy us.
Fast,
very fast the end will reach us. It is said, it will only last as long
as dawn lasts, as long as the sun needs to reach the treetops. Fast it
will be. And nothing will be left of us. One hour and we are all gone

"Perhaps a great coldness will come or something
else.
Hachykum, Our True Lord, will get our blood. He will gather all of us
there
in Yaxchilan (at the center of the universe)... The gods will bring us
to Yaxchilan. All the people with good blood will be gathered. When
they
arrive there, their necks will be cut. So it is said.

"Then when the world’s end is coming nothing will
remain.
Everything will find its end. There will be no thorns and spines, no
flies,
no bloodsucking bugs --- nothing. But then the souls will come, the
souls
of the ancients, the souls of the deceased. They will inhabit the
earth.
They will stay together with the gods."

Another eschatological Mayan vision proclaims:

"Eat, eat, so long as there is bread; Drink,
drink, so
long as there is water; A day will come, when dust will darken the sky,
when a stench of pestilence will cause the land to wither, when a cloud
will rise, when a mountain will be raised, when a strong man will seize
the city, when all things will fall into ruin, when the tender leaf
will
be destroyed, when eyes will close in death."

The Eagle
Bowl Calendar ~

The sacred Aztec calendar is properly called the
Eagle
Bowl (Fig. 1). It represents the solar deity Tonatiuh. The amazingly
accurate
calendar has been in use in various forms for more than 2,000 years. A
Zapotec prophecy, based on the Eagle Bowl, states that "After Thirteen
Heavens of Decreasing Choice, and Nine Hells of Increasing Doom, the
Tree
of Life shall blossom with a fruit never before known in the creation,
and that fruit shall be the New Spirit of Men". The 13 Heavens and 9
Hells
were each 52 years long (1,144 years total). Each of the 9 Hells were
to
be worse than the last. On the final day of the last Hell (August 17,
1987),
Tezcatlipoca, god of death, would remove his mask of jade to reveal
himself
as Quetzelcoatl, god of peace.

In the mythology of the Aztecs, the first age of
mankind
ended with the animals devouring humans. The second age was finished by
wind, the third by fire, and the fourth by water. The present fifth
epoch
is called Nahui-Olin (Sun of Earthquake), which began in 3113 BC and
will
end on December 24, 2011. It will be the last destruction of human
existence
on Earth. The date coincides closely with that determined by the
brothers
McKenna in The Invisible Landscape as "the end of history"
indicated
by their computer analysis of the ancient Chinese oracle-calendar, the I
Ching.

The Mayan calendar is divided into Seven Ages of
Man.
The fourth epoch ended in August 1987. The Mayan calendar comes to an
end
on Sunday, December 23, 2012. Only a few people will survive the
catastrophe
that ensues. In the fifth age, humanity will realize its spiritual
destiny.
In the sixth age, we will realize God within ourselves, and in the
seventh
age we will become so spiritual that we will be telepathic.

6.
Quetzelcoatl
~

Hundreds of North and South American Indian and
South
Pacific legends tell of a white-skinned, bearded lord who traveled
among
the many tribes to bring peace about 2,000 years ago. This spiritual
hero
was best known as Quetzelcoatl. Some of his many other names were:
Kate-Zahl
(Toltec), Kul-kul-kan (Maya), Tah-co-mah (NW America), Waicomak
(Dakota),
Wakea (Cheyenne, Hawaiian and Polynesian), Waikano (Orinoco), Hurakan,
the Mighty Mexico, E-See-Co-Wah (Lord of Wind and Water), Chee-Zoos,
the
Dawn God (Puan, Mississippi), Hea-Wah-Sah (Seneca), Taiowa, Ahunt
Azoma,
E-See-Cotl (New Guinea), Itza-Matul (Yucatan), Zac-Mutul (Mayan),
Wakon-Tah
(Navajo), Wakona (Algonquin), etc.. (2)

When he left the Toltecs and sailed away to the
East,
Kate-Zahl promised to return to them after several cycles of their
calendar.
He made a prophecy about the destiny of the sacred city Tula (now
identified
with Teotihuacan in Mexico) through two millennia. The Toltecs would be
conquered first by the Sacrificers of Men (the Aztecs), then by
white-skinned,
bearded men of the East carrying fatal "thunder-rods" --- the Spaniards
and their guns:

"Further off there is another invasion. In
ships
many bearded men are coming from across the Sunrise Ocean... I see
these
men taking the Broad Land... They do not respect our trees of cedar.
They
are but hungry, unenlightened children...

"Would that I could speak to these bearded
farmers. I
have tried. They do not hear me. They go on their way like spoiled
children...

"Stand with me in the Year of Te-Tac-patl. Look
across
the Sunrise Ocean. Three ships come like great birds flying. They land.
Out come men in metal garments, carrying rods which speak with thunder
and kill at a distance. These men are bearded and pale of feature.

"They come ashore and I see them kneeling. Above
them
I see a Great Cross standing. That is well. If these men are true to
the
symbol they carry, you need have no fear of them, for no one who is
true
to that symbol will ever carry it into battle.

"Therefore hold aloft your Great Cross (T), and go
forth
to meet them. They cannot fail to know that symbol, and would not fire
their rods upon it, nor upon those who stand in its shadow. Well they
know
that what is done to my people is done also to me.

"When the years have come to their full binding,
the metal-tipped
boots of the strangers will be heard in all the bloody temples. Then
throughout
the Broad Land has begun the Third Cycle. As yet, I cannot see beyond
it.

"Once I had great hope for these people, for I saw
them
kneel and kiss the sweet earth, and I saw the shadow of the Great Cross
which they carried with them. Now I must warn you against them.

"Carry your great books into the jungles. Place
your histories
deeply in caverns where none of these men can find them. Nor do you
bring
them back to the sunlight until the War-Cycle is over. For these
bearded
strangers are the children of War. They speak my precepts, but their
ears
do not listen. They have but one love and that is for weapons. Ever
more
horrible are these weapons, until they reach for the one which is
ultimate.
Should they use that, there will be no forgiveness in that vale where
there
is no turning. Using such a weapon to make man over, is reaching into
the
heavens for the Godhead. These things are not for man’s decision, nor
should
man presume to think for all things, and thus mock the Almighty. Woe to
those who do not listen! There are lamps beyond that which you are
burning;
roads beyond this which you are treading; worlds beyond the one you are
seeing. Be humble before the might of the Great Hand which guides the
stars
within their places. There are many lodges within my Father’s Kingdom
for
it is more vast than time, and more eternal.

"Keep hidden your books, my children, all during
the Cycle
of Warring Strangers. The day will come when they will be precious.

"For five full Cycles of the Dawn Star, the rule
of the
Warring Strangers will go on to greater and greater destruction.
Hearken
well to all I have taught you. Do not return to the Sacrificers. Their
path leads to the last Destruction. Know that the end will come in five
full cycles, for five, the difference between the Earth’s number and
that
of the Gleaming Dawn Star, is the number of these children of War. As a
sign to you that the end is nearing, my Father’s Temple will be
uncovered.
Remember this in the days which are coming."

Tula-Teotihuacan was found and excavated by
archaeologists
only in recent years. In another prophecy, Kate-Zahl described the city
as it will be rebuilt in the future:

"Then the heavens spoke in a crash of thunder, and
the
lightning flashed above the valley. The Man turned to look again on
Tula,
his most beloved city. Behold! It was naught but a mass of rubble.

"He wept there with great sorrow. He clung to the
rocks,
staring back toward Tula. Then the heavens roared again and shook the
mountain.
A flash of light struck beside Him and cracked the darkness. Behold!
The
old heaven and earth were vanished, and He looked into another cycle.

"The heavens parted and a rising sun shone down on
another
Tula. Plainly he could see the valley, but the city was one He knew
not.
Magnificent was this Golden Tula!

"The Man was lifted beyond the earth. No longer He
saw
the Age of Destruction. Gone was the horrible Age of Warfare. He was
looking
beyond the Age of Carnage!

"Walk with me through this Age of the Future. Tula
shines
in all its glory, but the metals are of types we know not. Loving hands
have rebuilt the parkways, have paved the streets, have rebuilt the
temples.
There is a great building where books are kept for the scholars, and
many
are those who come to read them. Tula is a great Center of Culture.

"Come with me to the New Colula. Shining again is
My Father’s
Temple! Once more the city is filled with fountains and the parkways
are
wire-netted for the birds of rare plumage, and those who sing to
enchant
the listener. Cross through the parkway to My Father’s Temple. You will
see again the inscriptions which today your eyes are seeing, but now
all
people can read them.

"Come to the city of the future. Here are the
buildings
unlike those we build, yet they have a breathless beauty. Here people
dress
in materials we know not, travel in manners beyond our knowledge, but
more
important than all these differences are the faces of the people. Gone
is the shadow of fear and suffering, for man no longer sacrifices, and
he has outgrown the wars of his childhood. Now he walks in full stature
towards his destiny --- into the Golden Age of Learning.

"Carry this vision on through the Ages, and
remember Kate-Zahl,
the Prophet."

In Book X of his History, the 16th century
chronicler
Fray Bernardino de Sahagun described the departure of the "wise men"
who
had been the attendant priests of Kate-Zahl at Teotihuacan:

"... The wise men remained not long; soon they
went. Once
again, they embarked and carried off the writing, the books, the
paintings;
they carried away all the crafts, the castings of metals. And when they
departed, they summoned all those they left behind. They said to them:
‘Our lord, the protector of all, the wind, the night, saith you shall
remain.
We go leaving you here. Our lord goeth bequesting you this land; it is
your merit, your lot. Our lord, the master of all, goeth still farther,
and we go with him. Whither the lord, the night, the wind, our lord,
the
master of all, goeth, we go accompanying him. He goeth, he goeth back,
but he will come, he will come to do his duty, he will come to
acknowledge
you. When the world is become oppressed, when it is the end of the
world,
at the time of its ending, he will come to bring it to an end. But you
shall dwell here; you shall stand guard here..."

A surviving Toltec legend says:

"Ce Acatl [Quetzelcoatl] spent a night with a
Huiteca
family. They fed him and played music for him. The father, a strong
Indian
farmer, showed Ce Acatl a stone carving he had and told him, ‘This
carving
tells of the coming of the Lord of the Dawn. It says he will come in
the
Year One Reed. It says he will build a city and change the world.’

"The farmer had no idea who he was talking to. He
continued.
‘Now,’ he said, ‘many people say he will not come. Many people say it
is
a long time from now that he will come. Some people say he will come
from
the East and he will bring a great book of words and numbers. Other
people
say he will come from a tree and count the Last twenty Days of the
Creation.
What do you say about this?’

"Ce Acatl grew gray with the depth of his answer.
‘If
I told you of my thought, of what I know of the Spirit of the Lord of
the
Dawn, if I told you of what I think will happen, you would laugh and
think
me crazy. So I say only this: One day a race shall walk upon this
earth,
a race of men whose spirits are so great, whose wisdom is so complete,
whose powers to commune with the Creator are so keen they will dwarf
the
doings of the Lord of the Dawn of our day. When that day comes the
Creator
will send forth a manifestation that will in turn amaze the wisest men
of that unbelievable age. And even then the greatest brains on earth
will
wonder --- has he come? Will he come? Or has he been here?’"

When he departed, Ce Acatl promised to close the
Thirteenth
Heaven and open the First of the Nine Hells, and he vowed to destroy
the
man-made gods. He set the year and date of his birth (260 years later
on
Day One Reed in year One Reed) and said, "I shall return. I shall come
from the east like the Morning Star, and I will fulfill that part of
the
prophecy."

It is said that when Ce Acatl passed away at the
age of
52, ‘A hush fell over the entire planet, and burning bright in the
heavens
directly above the great tree, the Tree of Life [El Tule], glowed the
planet
Venus, the Morning Star."

Quetzelcoatl also foretold that "In time, white
men will
come out of the eastern sea in great canoes with white wings like a big
bird. The white men will be like a bird with two different kinds of
feet.
One foot will be that of a dove [Christianity], the other of an eagle
[predator].
A few hundred years after the arrival of the first white men, other
white
men would arrive with both feet as a dove". Quetzelcoatl himself or his
spirit would come in the form of a white dove at that time.

A Zapotec prophecy, transmitted by Joseph
Jochmans, also
announced the recent return of Quetzelcoatl: "One of the incarnations
of
Quetzelcoatl is buried beneath the roots of the sacred El Tule Tree
near
Oaxaca, and as the first rays of the dawning sun of the new heaven
cycle
[August 17, 1987] sink into the depths of the Earth, billions of tiny
spirits
will burst from the heart of Quetzelcoatl. They will slowly rise
through
the trunk, through the limbs and branches, appearing as sparkles of
light,
finally erupting from limbs and branches, to circle the globe, each
spirit
to implant itself within the heart of a human being, and plant a
crystal
of peace and love..."

7. Hopi
Prophecy ~

In the course of their communion with the Great
Spirit,
native Americans have received many visions of the destiny of North
American
civilization. The largest number of such prophesies have been preserved
by the Hopi in Arizona. Their community of Oraibi is the oldest
continually
inhabited settlement (about 1,000 years) in North America. The name
Hopi
is derived from Hopitu Shinumu ("Peaceful [or: Righteous]
People").

The Hopi believe that the human race has evolved
through
three world stages of life since its origin. Each of these worlds was
destroyed
in turn, and human life was purified and nearly ended by the Great
Spirit
because of man’s corruption and greed. (3)

In the Hopi cosmology, the universe at first was
only
infinite blackness in the mind of Taiowa, the Creator. Taiowa made
Sotuknang,
the first man, and commanded him to order the cosmos. On the first day,
Sotuknang divided the universe into nine worlds. One world was reserved
for Taiowa, one was for Man, and seven were for future worlds. The
present
is the Fourth World.

Topkela was the first and most beautiful of the
worlds.
There, humanity thrived in harmony with Nature in the company of
animals.
But the Snake spoke and seduced Man away from Taiowa the Creator.
Seeing
this, Taiowa ordered Satuknang to destroy Tokpela and its inhabitants,
except for a few "children of pure heart" whom he sheltered in the
center
of the Earth when he rained fire upon the planet and burned the sky.
The
people stayed underground while volcanoes erupted. Afterwards, the
people
emerged and moved into the second world, Topka, which was less
beautiful
than the first. There, men lived in huts, learned crafts, and drew
apart
from Nature. Eventually they became greedy, materialistic, and
insatiable
as before. Taiowa again ordered Sotuknang to destroy the humans and the
world they had ruined. The faithful few again hid underground with the
Ant People. The earth rolled over twice, and everything on it was
destroyed
by ice, which covered everything. After the ice had melted enough to
make
the world inhabitable, the survivors emerged into the third world,
Kuskurza.
There, man built cities and tall buildings, and departed further still
from the Creator’s nature, becoming very evil. Kuskurza in turn was
destroyed
by flood. (4-6)

When the Hopi’s ancestors emerged from the
underworld,
they met the demigod Maasaw, who owns this world. Maasaw had been
caretaker
of the Third World, but because of his pride, he had been demoted to
become
the god of death. When Kuskurza was destroyed, Taiowa gave Maasaw
another
chance and appointed him to be the guardian of this world. The people
asked
Maasaw for permission to live in the new land of Turtle Island (North
America).

Maasaw said, "It is up to you, whether you are
willing
to live my poor, humble and simple life. It is hard, but if you are
willing
to live according to my teachings and instructions and will never lose
faith in the life I shall give you, you may come and live with me. Now
you look at me. I am a poor man. I have almost nothing: I have only my
planting stick, my seed corn, and a jug of water. I live a simple life.
If you wish to live with me, you must sacrifice many things. If you
want
me for your leader, your chief, you must prove that you can live this
way
of life.

"Now look around. See this land. It is poor land.
There
is not much water and very few trees. But this is the richest land.
There
is great wealth under. But hear this warning -- you are not to disturb
this land and take this wealth out as long as there is still war going
on. If you do, these things will be used to destroy life and this will
not be your salvation...

"Never disturb this land. Do not cede your land to
anyone;
don’t ever give it away. Above all, it is to provide your nourishment.
Hold this land dear like a mother as long as you live. If you sell it
you
will no longer reap crops. Be prepared: one after another people will
approach
you and put you to the test in this matter.

"If, in addition, you are willing to adopt the
religion
which I practice, you will derive further benefits for your life... But
you have arrived with great ambitions and expectations. When you fall
into
your evil ways again, you will make me weep...

"All right, you have settled in a desert, yet the
land
is filled with riches. You reside on the very backbone of the earth.
All
kinds of precious things are buried in this earth. There exists a
storehouse
of treasures underground but you must not dig them up yet.

"Three times big war will rage. Should you
excavate these
treasures while the killing is taking place, powerful weapons will be
forged
from them and people will be slain by them. If you act on your own in
this
matter, you will do wrong. Not before the day of purification has been
completed, may you unearth these things. At that time people will
benefit
from them. However, if these wars ever take place here, don’t pick up
your
weapons, and don’t engage in the business of killing..."

The people asked Maasaw to be their leader, but he
declined.
"No, he said. "A greater one than I has given you a plan to fulfill
first.
When the previous parts of the world were pushed underwater, this new
land
was pushed up in the middle to become the backbone of the earth. You
are
now standing on its west side slope. But you have not yet made your
migrations.
You have not yet followed your stars to the place where you will meet
and
settle. This you must do before I can become your leader. But if you go
back to evil ways again I will take over the earth from you, for I am
its
caretaker, guardian, and protector... So go now and claim the land with
my permission."

Maasaw then placed four different colors and sizes
of
corn before the leaders of the four different racial groups, and had
each
one choose which would be their food in this world. The Hopi were the
last
to choose, and they picked the smallest ear of multi-colored corn.
Pleased
by their choice, Maasaw said:

"It is well done. You have chosen the real corn,
for all
the others are imitations inside of which are hidden seeds of different
plants. You have shown me your intelligence; for this reason I will
place
in your hands these owa tutuveni [sacred stone tablets],
symbols
of power and authority over all land and life to guard, protect, and
hold
in trust for me until I return to you in a later day, for I am the
first,
but I am also going to be the last."

One of the three Bear Clan tablets describes the
land
from the Grand Canyon to the Rio Grande, which was granted by Maasaw to
the Hopis. Another tablet is inscribed with mnemonic symbols of
prophecies.
A third tablet maps the allocations of farmland to the various clans,
and
delegates leadership to the Bear Clan. The fourth tablet is a very
precise
map of the location of the Sipaapuni, the great underground city where
the Hopi ancestors hid during the destruction of the past worlds.
(Figs.
2, 3)

The symbols on the front of the tablet now held by
the
Fire Clan show the mask of Maasaw and the swastika pattern which
represents
the Hopi migrations. One corner is missing. The back of the Fire Clan
tablet
shows the figure of a headless man, which symbolizes the following
prophecy:

"In a time to come, the Hopis will be forced to
develop
their lives at the dictates of a new ruler. They are not to resist, but
must wait for their Elder Brother, Antsa Qoetsapava Powatanica. A
corner
of the Fire Clan tablet was broken off and given to the Elder Brother
when
he left on his migration. He hid it in the Sipaapuni city because he
did
not want to risk losing it in the course of his travels and
reincarnations.
He will retrieve it when he returns. In due time, the tablet will be
split
open to expose interior inscriptions which will reveal the origin and
identity
of the Hopi. Fitting the missing corner piece to the tablet, the Elder
Brother will thus identify himself to the Hopi. The tablet will be
split
open to expose interior inscriptions which will reveal the origin and
identity
of the Hopi. Then Pahaana will proceed to deliver them from their
persecutors
and develop with them a new and universal brotherhood of man. But if he
accepts any other religion, he must assent to having his own head cut
off.
This will dispel the evil and save the Hopi people."

The chief of the Bow Clan led the faithful Hopi to
this
new land, but he fell into evil ways. His two sons rebuked him for his
mistakes, and after he died they assumed the responsibilities of
leadership.
Then Maasaw sent the Elder Brother to the east and across the ocean.
Upon
reaching his destination, he was to start back to look for his younger
brother, who remained on Turtle Island. The Elder Brother’s mission was
to help his younger brother to bring about Purification Day, when evil
people would be punished and destroyed. Afterwards, real peace,
brotherhood,
and everlasting life would be established. The Elder Brother would
restore
to his younger brother all the land which the Evil One among the white
men had taken.

The younger brother (the Hopi ancestors) was
instructed
to travel throughout Turtle Island and mark his trail with the
petroglyphs
we see today. This was done to claim the land, and to record and
preserve
the history of the Indians throughout the reign of white men. The
whites
would destroy most of the native Americans’ oral history and culture
before
destroying themselves also.

A great white star would appear when the Elder
Brother
reached his destination. All people were to settle wherever they
happened
to be at that time, and there they were to remain until the Elder
Brother
returned.

The Hopi settled in Tuuwanasavi, the area
now known
as Four Corners, where the state lines of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and
Colorado meet. This area is the "heart" of Turtle Island and of Mother
Earth, and it is the microcosmic image of the entire planet. There, the
Hopi lived a simple life as stewards of the land, which produced
abundant
crops despite being a desert. Their katsina ceremonies serve to
maintain the balance of natural forces and to reaffirm their faith in
Taiowa,
in Maasaw and other spirits, and to show respect for all life.

Maasaw told the Hopi that after a time Pahana,
White Man,
would come and take their land and try to lead the Hopi into evil ways.
Life would be Koyaanisqatsi ("World out of balance"). The Hopi
were
told that they must hold to their ancient religion and their land, and
they must do it without violence. Maasaw promised that if they
succeeded,
their people and land would be a center where the True Spirit would
reawaken.

Maasaw said that after many years the Elder
Brother might
change the color of his skin, but his hair will remain black, and he
will
wear it long, in a braided tail. He will wear a red cloak or a red cap
which resembles the back of a horned toad. He will speak the Hopi
language,
and he will be able to write. He will follow no religion but his very
own.
He will bring (or come to recover) the missing corner of the owa
tutuveni,
and he will correctly interpret the tablets.

The Hopi are to meet him on the trail on the east
side
of Oraibi if he is on time (on the last day of Soyal, the winter
solstice
ceremony), or on the trail to Sikya’wa (Yellow Rock), at Chokuw
(Pointed
Rock), Nahoyungvasa (Cross Fields), or at Tawtona (Where the Sun Ray
Goes
Over the Line) below Oraibi if he is 5, 10, 15, or 20 years late.Then,
great judgment and punishment will take place. The Elder Brother will
help
the younger brother obtain justice. In one day he will gain control of
the whole continent. Even the Hopi people must beware:

"If he comes from the East, the destruction will
not be
so bad. But if he comes from the West, do not go up on your housetops
to
see because he will have no mercy."

It is said that the Elder Brother will bring with
him
two great, intelligent and powerful helpers. One will have a sign of a
swastika and the sign of the sun. The first helper can be interpreted
to
represent the German-Japanese Axis of World War Two. From the Hopis’
perspective,
these enemies of the USA were doing the Indians a real service.
The
second helper will have the sign of a Celtic Cross with red lines
between
the arms of the cross. In the Hopi symbology, this form of cross
represents
women, and the red lines indicates their menstrual flow. The symbol
represents
their liberation and the revival of matriarchal power after ages of
suppression.

Maasaw warned that if these great beings failed,
terrible
evil would befall the world and great numbers of people would be
killed.
However, they would succeed if enough Hopi remained true to the ancient
spirit of their people. Unfortunately, there are very few
traditionalist
Hopis remaining today, so the situation looks very bleak.

Hopi prophecy states that World War III will be
started
by the people who first received the light --- China, Palestine, India
and Africa. When the war comes, the United States will be destroyed by
"a gourd of ashes" which will be thrown to the ground. The rivers will
boil, the earth shall burn, and no grass will grow there for many
years.
It will cause a disease that no medicine can cure. This can only mean
that
nuclear weapons will be used against the USA. The Hopi traditionalist
Thomas
Banyaca has said that if many US soldiers are sent overseas, they will
be killed by atomic bombs, and then Turtle Island also will be bombed.
"Men will fall from the sky", meaning that invading soldiers will
parachute
to earth.

According to another prophecy, "When the Blue Star
Kachina
dances in the plaza, the time of the great trial will be here... The
end
of all Hopi ceremonies will come when a Kachina removes his mask during
a dance in the plaza before uninitiated children. For a while there
will
be no more ceremonies, no more faith. Then Oraibi will be rejuvenated
with
its faith and ceremonies, marking the start of a new cycle of Hopi
life."

The following Hopi prophecy was first published in
a mimeographed
manuscript that circulated among several Methodist and Presbyterian
churches
in 1959. While driving along a desert road one hot day in the summer of
1958, a minister named David Young stopped to offer a ride to a Hopi
elder,
who accepted with a nod. After riding in silence for several minutes,
the
elder said:

"I am White Feather, a Hopi of the ancient Bear
Clan.
In my long life I have traveled through this land, seeking out my
brothers,
and learning from them many things full of wisdom. I have followed the
sacred paths of my people, who inhabit the forests and many lakes in
the
east, the land of ice and long nights in the north, the mountains and
streams
of jumping fish in the west, and the places of holy altars of stone
built
long ago by my brothers’ fathers in the south. From all these I have
heard
the stories of the past, and the prophecies of the future. Today, many
of the prophecies have turned to stories, and few are left --- the past
grows longer, and the future grows shorter.

"And now White Feather is dying. His sons have all
joined
his ancestors, and soon he too shall be with them. But there is no one
left, no one to recite and pass on the ancient wisdom. My people have
tired
of the old ways. The great ceremonies that tell of our origins, of our
Emergence into the Fourth World, are almost all abandoned, forgotten.
Yet
even this has been foretold. The time grows short...

"My people await Pahana, the lost White Brother,
as do
all our brothers in the land. He will not be like the white men we know
now, who are cruel and greedy. We were told of their coming long ago.
But
still we await Pahana.

"He will bring with him the symbols, the missing
piece
of that sacred tablet now kept by the elders, given to him when he
left,
that shall identify him as our True White Brother.

"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth
World
will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The signs over many years
have been fulfilled, and so few are left.

"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming
of
the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana --- men
who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies
with thunder.

"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the
coming
of the spinning wheels of wood filled with voices. In my youth, my
father
saw this prophecy come true with his eyes --- the white men bringing
their
families in wagons across the prairies.

"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast, like a
buffalo
but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers.
These
White Feather saw with his own eyes --- the coming of the white mans’
cattle.

"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be
criss-crossed
by snakes of iron.

"This is the Fifth Sign: The land will be
criss-crossed
by a giant spider’s web.

"This is the Sixth Sign: The land will be
criss-crossed
with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun.

"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the
sea turning
black, and many living things dying because of it.

"This is the Eighth Sign: You will see many youth,
who
wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations,
to learn their ways and wisdom.

"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will
hear of
a dwelling place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with
a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the
ceremonies of my people will cease.

"These are the Signs that great destruction is
coming.
The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle against
other
people in other lands --- with those who possessed the first light of
wisdom.
There will be many columns of smoke such as White Feather has seen the
white man make in the deserts not far from here. Only those which come
will cause disease and a great dying. Many of my people, understanding
the prophecies, shall be safe. Those who stay and live in the places of
my people also shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And
soon
--- very soon afterward --- Pahana will return. He shall bring with him
the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in
their hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth
the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World.

"But White Feather shall not see it. I am old and
dying.
You --- perhaps you will see it. In time, in time..."

The Hopi elder became silent. They had arrived at
his
destination, and Rev. Young stopped to let him out of the car. They
never
met again. Rev. Young died in 1976, so he did not live to see the
further
fulfillment of this remarkable prophecy.

The signs are interpreted thus: The First Sign is
of guns,
and the Second is of the pioneers’ covered wagons. The Third Sign is of
longhorn cattle. The Fourth describes railroad tracks, and the Fifth is
a clear image of electric power and telephone lines. The Sixth Sign
describes
concrete highways and their effect of producing mirages. The Seventh
Sign
predicts
catastrophic oil spills such as the Exxon Valdez. The Eighth Sign
suggests
the hippy movement of the 1960s and 70s. The Ninth Sign was the U.S.
space
station Skylab, which fell to Earth in 1979. According to Australian
eyewitnesses,
it appeared to be burning blue. Or, the Russian space station Mir may
be
indicated here.

Another version of this prophecy says that when a
black
ribbon (the highway) is built on the land, a bug (the automobile) will
move on it, and this will be this sign for the first shaking of the
Earth,
World War One. The first shaking will be so violent that the bug will
be
shaken off the earth and will begin to fly (the airplane), leaving a
trail
of dirt behind it. Eventually the sky will become so dirty that it will
cause diseases that will become worse and worse. This may refer to the
current controversy about "chem-trails", the aerial web of chemical
sprays
that are beings spewed over America.

Another Hopi prophecy warns that nothing should be
brought
back from the Moon --- obviously anticipating the Apollo 11 mission
that
returned with samples of lunar basalt. The Hopi warned that it would
disturb
the balance of natural and universal laws and forces, resulting in
earthquakes,
severe changes in weather patterns, and social unrest. All these things
are happening today.

In 1948, the Hopi spiritualist leaders met in
Shungopavi
and chose four representatives to approach the United Nations. Because
of their prophetic knowledge, the Hopi leaders felt it was time to go
east
to the edge of Turtle Island, where a "House of Mica [glass] would
stand
at this time, where Great Leaders from many lands would be gathered to
help any people who are in trouble". They were to go there when the
lands
of the Hopi and other Indian brothers were about to be taken away from
them and their way of life was in danger of being completely destroyed
by evil ones among the white men and by some other Indian brothers who
were influenced by the white race. This is a clear and present danger,
because the infernal meddling of Christians, the betrayal of treaties
by
the federal government, the sale of tribal lands by Indians, and the
ecological
disasters caused by coal and uranium mining, are destroying the Hopi
land
and people, and all native Americans.

According to prophecy, at least one, two, or three
leaders
or nations would hear and understand the Hopi warnings, for they too
should
know the ancient instructions. Upon hearing the message of the Hopi,
they
were to act immediately to correct many wrongs being done to the Red
Man.
However, the Hopi might find that the doors of the Mica House would be
closed to them:

"When Great Leaders in the Mica House refuse to
open the
door when you stand before it that day, do not be discouraged or turn
about
on the path you walk, but take courage, determination, and be of great
rejoicing in your hearts, for on that day the White Race who are on
your
land with you have cut themselves from you and thereon lead themselves
to the greatest Punishment at the Day of Purification. Men shall be
destroyed
for their sins and evil ways. The Great Spirit has decreed it and no
one
can stop it, change it, or add anything to it. It shall be fulfilled!"

In 1959, another delegation of six traditional
Hopi elders,
led by Dan Katchongva, traveled to the UN building. Their prophecies
foretold
that if the Hopi’s request to address the House of Mica was refused
after
knocking (visiting) four times, mankind would surely be destroyed.
Thomas
Banyaca knocked for the fourth time in 1991, and was permitted to
address
the General Assembly for a few minutes during the opening ceremonies of
the UN’s International Year of Indigenous Peoples December 10, 1992).
He
was the last speaker, and only a few UN delegates remained to hear him.
He said:

"We have made a sacred covenant to follow Maasaw,
the
Great Spirit’s Life Plan at all times, which includes the
responsibility
of taking care of this land and life for his divine purpose. Our goals
are not to gain political control, monetary wealth, or military power,
but rather to pray and to promote the welfare of all living beings and
to preserve the world in a natural way." Banyaca then told the Hopi
story
of the previous worlds which were destroyed because of human greed, and
warned that this world, too, is near its end. He said, "This is now a
time
to weigh the choices for our future. We do have a choice. If you, the
nations
of this Earth, create another great war, the Hopi believe we humans
will
burn ourselves to death with ashes. That’s why the spiritual Elders
strongly
urge that the United Nations fully open the door for Native spiritual
leaders
as soon as possible... The Native peoples of the world have seen and
spoken
to you about the destruction of their lives and homelands, the
ruination
of nature and the desecration of their sacred sites. It is time the
United
Nations used its rules to investigate these occurrences and stop them
now."

Grandfather Banyaca requested that the UN protect
the
Four Corners area, because it will have a special purpose in the future
survival of humankind. He asked that the UN keep its doors open for
spiritual
leaders of all peoples "to come to speak to you for more than a few
minutes".
He also invited world leaders to visit the Hopi country and "sit down
with
our real spiritual leaders in their sacred kivas" and learn their
"ancient
secrets of survival and balance". The UN has failed to respond.

A 9th century Tibetan prophecy states, "When the
iron
bird flies, the Dharma [Buddhism] will go east to the land of the Red
Man".
This prophecy was fulfilled in 1980 when the Dalai Lama visited America
and met with Hopi elders in Los Angeles and with leaders of the
Iroquois
Confederacy in Syracuse, NY. (7)

Between 1975 and 1986, a group of traditionalist
elders
and English-speaking Hopis cooperated to produce 44 issues of a
newsletter
called Techqua Ikach (Land & Life), totaling over 200 pages
which outlined their prophetic message in great detail. In 1993, Thomas
Mails was selected by Dan Evehema (then 100 years old) to represent the
authorized prophecies. The resulting book Hotevila was written
in
complete secrecy to prevent interference from the Hopi Tribal Council. (8)

"One day Hopi children with short hair or bald
heads would
be the ears and mouth for the elders, and in time become the leaders.
So
the Hopi Tribal Council was formed... The Bahanas’ government will
gradually
cease their responsibility in caring for the Native people... Any
mistake
we make will be our own doing. The Bahana government would not be
responsible.
Their influence would linger on in making sure we run our government
the
Bahana way, not by our own... traditional ways... If we link ourselves
with a culture not of our own... it will be difficult to regain what we
discard in the name of progress. Of course we can continue to practice
what we lose, but it will have lost its value. What happens at the end
will be the consequences of our carelessness.

"According to prophecy, the Hopi are to be the
last target.
We are to be conquered, not by the Army and their weapons, but by our
own
people. By our sons and daughters without us lifting our hands. Their
weapon
will be what they learned through the education so kindly taught by the
Bahana... The Bahanas will pat the back of the conquerors while
cheering
and applauding. They will be satisfied that they are not required to
finish
the task which they set out to accomplish. It is our own people who
bring
this about and the Bahanas, therefore, cannot be blamed. The conquest
will
be over and all Native People will be finished. This is a sad ending
and
it is a pity that we must end this way...

"It is said if purification does not come, our
Great Creator
will take the land back because we do not care for the land and we
don’t
deserve to be on it. The above subject, to our children, is soundless
and
has no meaning...

"One day our own children may become our enemies.
Schools
will destroy the sacred balance of Hopi life. They will interrupt the
traditions
and people will forget the instructions of Maasaw. This destruction
will
reach much further than our village. The whole Earth could go off
balance.

"As foretold, all of this information must come
out into
the open at the period when we are about to be overcome by harmful
elements
and can step no further...

"Just two or three righteous people will be able
to fulfill
the Creator’s mission. Even one truly righteous would be able to do
it...

"Three people were named who were to help the Hopi
when
we reached the crisis of no return. The Paiute Indian was to help
according
to his wisdom, but if he is unable the Navajo Indian will help also,
according
to his wisdom. If their efforts fail then Bahana will come to aid. This
is where we are now...

"So it was predicted that one day we would
encounter the
presence of people with ways different from our own; they will pose as
good-hearted. Their words will be charming and they will multiply like
ants. We must not be deceived by them, for the vines of their kingdom
will
spread throughout the land, diluting and dissolving everything that
gets
in its way. We must be cautious and not covet or adopt any of their
ways,
for it will forever be a curse upon our nation....

"It is said, among the Bahana the people of the
Cross
will appear on our land. They will be kind and helpful with good
hearts.
Beware, for they will be the instruments of Bahana’s kingdom and will
seduce
you into forsaking the laws of our Great Creator. The wicked of our
people
will join their flock to clear their sins, but this will be in vain...

"One day a strange people will appear in our
midst, people
who will create man in his own image. Once given his language and
knowledge,
our people will become the instrument by which he will try to rule over
us and carve the rest of us into his image. Our own people will become
his tools, and he will make certain they do a good job.

"But if we remain strong and firmly rooted, we
will not
be reshaped, whereas others will slump because they are rootless. So
when
the tests come we must possess the strength to preserve ourselves...

"The Earth is like a spotted fawn, and each spot
has a
duty to make the body function. Hopiland is the center of the earth’s
body.
It is the spot of power with the duty to foretell the future by
comparing
the actions of mankind with the prophecy told them..."

Martin Gawanesha, a traditionalist Hopi elder,
emphasizes
that most of the events predicted by their prophecies already have
happened,
and that the Great Purification is imminent:

"Life has become out of balance. When people are
so out
of balance, some one will hear our voice and our White Brother will
answer
the call and clean away the evil ones. According to prophecy, when the
purification is over only a handful of people will survive in every
nation
overseas. Then they will come to this continent, which we call heaven.
This is where the Creator first lived and that’s what he called it. He
sent his own son from Oraibi to Bethlehem in order to be born there.
The
Hopi already knew that the morning star would rise one day and someone
special would be born...

"In our prophecies there are two brothers, one
dark-skinned
younger brother and the light-skinned elder who we call the White
Brother.
Together they will decide how the purification will be accomplished.

"The two brothers were with us when we first came
to this
continent. When their father passed away, the elder brother went out in
the direction of the sunrise and the younger brother stayed here. They
had agreed the elder brother would go, but would not stay away too
long.
He would return when people would travel on a road built in the air. At
that time we would know that the earth had been corrupted to the point
that it must be purified.

"We’ve come to that point now. Everything has been
corrupted.
Because we are out of balance, we don’t obey the laws... It’s too late
now for gradual voluntary corrections...

"As Hopis... we are calling for the purification
because
it is our obligation. We’re ready, we want it to happen... We’ve
already
gone over the time limit that was given to us in the prophecy..." (7)

Hopi prophecy also warns that there will be three
divisions
among the Hopi. The first division was in 1906 between the
traditionalists
and the modernists. The traditionalists were forced to leave Oraibi and
move to Hotevila. The second division took place in the aftermath of a
spectacular UFO sighting in August 1970. The third division is
occurring
now as the Tribal Council has forced the installation of electric power
and other modern inconveniences upon the unwilling traditionalist
residents
of Hotevila.

During the Hopi Hearings of 1955, many elders
spoke forth
to remind people of the ancient prophecies. One elder said:

"Then the sun won’t be as hot any more, and the
summer
season will grow shorter and shorter. One day the weather will no
longer
get warm. You will experience snowfall at the height of planting time.
Then you will have to sow wearing gloves and long underwear. To sow,
the
farmer will have to push aside the snow, dig a hole, and then plant his
seeds. It will come to this if you extract those precious things from
the
earth.

"And all the grasses across the land, which many
different
animals feed on to raise their young, will not grow as before. In the
future
the animals will suffer great hardships. Then the grasses will not
sprout.
There will be no point in having rain; nothing will grow as it used to.

"Gradually your corn plants will produce only
tassels
and then everything will freeze. And when you replant, only tiny,
stunted
ears will appear, and then they too will freeze. The third time you
sow,
the stalks will still be short before the frost strikes. By the fourth
time the plants will barely have pierced the earth before freezing. All
of these predictions Maasaw made to the Hopi." (8, 9)

The newsletter Techqua Ikach warned, "When
the
end is near, we will see a halo of mist around the heavenly bodies.
Four
times it will appear around the sun as a warning that we must reform,
telling
us that people of all color must unite and arise for survival...

"We were warned the ice will grow again. Should
the [Flute]
Clans with the controlling powers vanish or stray away from the great
laws
of the Creator, there will be no way of stopping the ice buildup. So
the
time will come when we will experience late springs and early frosts,
this
will be the sign of the returning Ice Age...

"The time will come when from the Earth will arise
a mystic
fog which will dilute the minds and hearts of all people... A sudden
eruption
will explode in the midst of their follies, and this will... creep over
the earth. Then men will destroy each other savagely...

"According to prophecy, the day will come when
people
in high places will be hunted and vice versa, the lowly hunters will be
hunted. This will get out of control. The hunting will gather strength
and spread far and wide...

"The period of this age will close by the gourd of
ashes
which will glow brighter than the Sun. The earth will turn over four
times
and mankind will end up in the lowest level of darkness there they will
crawl around on all fours forever. Then the spirits of our Ancient
Fathers
will return to reclaim the land. They will mock the lowly man for he
will
no longer deserve or be worthy of the land. Only those who are obedient
to the guidance of the Great Creator’s laws will survive... the true
brother
and sister will give a rebirth to the Earth and renew its life."

It is also said elsewhere in Hopi prophecy, that
"Turtle
Island could turn over two or three times and the oceans join hands and
meet the sky". Several passages in the Bible also suggest that the
Earth
will some day roll over in its orbit (Isaiah 13:13; and 24:1, 19, 20,
23;
Matthew 24: 29; Revelation 6:12-14; II Peter 3:10; Amos 8:8, 9). Since
1931, geophysicists have detected nearly 500 shifts of the north
magnetic
pole, moving northwest.

Thomas Banyaca has said, "If corruption of nature
becomes
so thick and pollution so thick, we will be in darkness, and if we
don’t
change things, the animals... they’re going to yell at us. Pretty soon
the eagles flying over us will be going to cry at us; when you walk in
the woods, the trees, some will cry at you --- because human beings are
supposed to take care of them also, through prayer, meditation, and
ceremony
instead of destroying them with machinery and inventions that you have
made..."

According to Thomas Banyaca, in the 1950s the
elders also
predicted to him the development of genetic engineering, saying that,
"You're
going to see a time in your lifetime when the human beings are going to
find the pattern that makes us. They're going to cut this pattern.
They're
going to make new animals upon the earth, and they're going to think
these
things are going to help us. And it's going to seem like they do help
us.
But maybe the grandchildren and great grandchildren are going to
suffer.
They will release these things; they will use them. You will see new
animals,
and even the old animals will come back, animals that people thought
had
disappeared. They will find them here and there. They'll begin to
reappear."

After the Great Deluge several thousand years ago,
the
survivors split up into four groups, who migrated north, south, east
and
west. Only one group completed their journey --- to the North Pole and
back --- under the guidance of a brilliant "star" in which Maasaw
traveled.
When he landed, Maasaw drew the petroglyph on Second Mesa, showing a
maiden
(with the traditional "butterfly" hair arrangement) riding in a
wingless,
dome-shaped craft. The petroglyph tells of the coming Day of
Purification,
when the true Hopi will fly to other planets in "flying shields." (Fig.
4)

8. Prophecy
Rock

The famous "Prophecy Rock" petroglyph (Fig. 5)
is known as the Hopi Life Plan. Some people claim that the petroglyph
was
carved in the 20th century. A Hopi man (a resident of Old Oraibi) whom
I met at Prophecy Rock told me it did not exist when he was a youth in
the 1970s. The following explanation, which was provided by the
Hotevila
faction, has been approved by the traditionalist Hopi elders:

"In the figure of the Life Plan, (a) represents
Maasaw
pointing to the earth from which the Hopi emerged. The short lines (b)
between his right hand and foot represent the Hopi clans. In recent
years,
the Hopi added a bow to the right of Maasaw to illustrate his
instructions
to lay down their weapons and live in peace. With his left hand, he is
touching the path of Life Plan (c) which the Hopi are to follow. The
circle
(d) near his left hand represents the Hopi’s stewardship over Turtle
Island.

"Point (e) indicates the time when, as Maasaw
predicted,
the Hopi would digress from the True Path and follow another trail. The
square (f) at this point is supposed to represent Oraibi. The two lines
leading from Oraibi mark the split that occurred in 1905 between the
progressive
Oraibi and traditionalist Hotevila factions. The upper line (g)
branching
from the square is the false path of the wicked people who strive to
dominate
Nature and rise above other people without the guidance of God. The
three
human figures (h) on the false path are the generations of wicked
people
who walk that way. Hopi elders claim that in recent times, heads were
added
to the symbols. The lack of heads would represent the punishment of
death
that will befall the wicked.

"Two zig-zag lines (I) branch from the false path.
They
represent carelessness and different paths to the final destruction
pursued
by the wicked people. Each zig and zag is another evil intention that
eventually
will be exhausted, which is indicated by the drooping symbol for
turning
around or sagging down (j) at their ends.

"The lower straight line (k) is the true path of
life
leading to everlasting life (l), symbolized by the masked figure of
Maasaw
(o). He holds a planting stick in one hand while touching a corn stalk
with the other. Maasaw stands waiting at the end of the True Path of
Life
because, as he says, ‘I am the first and I am the last.’

"The True Path is interrupted in three places by
arches
(m) which might have been complete circles at some time in the past.
These
are said to represent gourds, symbolizing three great ‘shakings’ or
wars
that will rattle humanity before the Life Plan is fulfilled. Hopi
elders
say the third gourd is the ‘final war of purification in which all evil
will be destroyed.’

"Line (n), which also resembles a corn stalk,
connects
the false path with the true way. It offers a last chance for the
wicked
to repent and return to the Path of Life. The two dead-end
zig-zag
trails indicate complete and permanent destruction of body and soul,
since
they continue for only a short distance beyond the point of no return.

"Symbol (p) is obscured by scratches, but the
Hopis claim
it is a crucifix, added to the petroglyph after a bloody 17th century
encounter
with the Spanish. The symbol was at Maasaw’s behest to show that
Christianity
is incompatible with the Hopi Life Plan, and should not merge with it."
(10)

The three figures on the upper path also have been
interpreted
to mean the white man’s inventions of the wagon and automobile, the
train,
and the airplane.

Deganawida ~

Deganawida ("He the Thinker") was a wise prophet
of the
Iroquois. He lived at the same time as the great chief Hiawatha, circa
1500. At that time the Iroquois nations were at war among themselves.
Deganawida
was given a vision of a gigantic spruce tree which reached up to the
sky
to the Elder Brothers, symbolizing the Family of Humanity. Deganawida
began
to preach a religion of love and harmony, thereby bringing unity to the
Iroquois nations, a great confederacy that lasted more than 300 years.
In another vision, Deganawida foresaw the destiny of the native
Americans.
That vision was transmitted orally until Edmund Wilson published it in
his Apologies to the Iroquois:

"When Deganawida was leaving the Indians in the
Bay of
Quinte in Ontario, he told them that they would face a time of great
suffering.
They would distrust their leaders and the principles of peace of the
League,
and a great white serpent [Caucasians] was to come upon the Iroquois.
For
a time, it would intermingle with the Indian people and be accepted by
the Indians, who would treat the serpent as a friend. This serpent
would
in time become so powerful that it would attempt to destroy the
Indians;
the serpent was described as choking the life’s blood out of the Indian
people. Deganawida told the Indians that they would seem to be lost,
but
when things looked their darkest a red serpent [China] would come from
the north and approach the white serpent, which would be terrified;
upon
seeing the red serpent, he would release the Indian, who would fall to
the ground like a helpless child, and the white serpent would turn all
its attention to the red serpent. This bewilderment would cause the
white
serpent to accept the red serpent momentarily. The white serpent would
be stunned and take part of the red serpent and accept him. Then there
is be a heated argument and a fight. Then the Indian revives and crawls
toward the land of the hilly country where he would assemble his people
together and they would renew their faith and the principles of peace
that
Deganawida had established. There would at the same time exist among
the
Indians a great love and forgiveness for his brother, and in this
gathering
would come streams from all over --- not only the Iroquois, but from
all
over --- and they would gather in the hilly country, and they would
renew
their friendship. Deganawida said they would remain neutral in this
fight
between the white serpent and the red serpent.

"At the time they were watching the two serpents
locked
in this battle, a great message would come to them and make them ever
so
humble, and when they had become that humble, they will be waiting for
a young leader, an Indian boy, possibly in his teens, who would become
a choice seer. Nobody knows who he is or where he comes from, but he
will
be given great power and would be heard by thousands, and he would give
them the guidance and the hope to refrain from going back to their land
and he would become the accepted leader. Deganaweda said that they will
gather in the land of the hilly country between the branches of an elm
tree, and they should burn tobacco and call upon Deganawida by name
when
they are facing their darkest hours, and he will return. Deganawida
said
that as the choice seer speaks to the Indians, they will notice to
south
a black serpent [Africans] coming from the sea. He is described as
dripping
with salt water. And as he stands there, he rests for a spell to get
his
breath, all the time watching to the north to the land where the white
serpent and the red serpent are fighting.

"Deganawida said that the battle between the white
and
the red serpents would open slowly, then become so violent that the
mountains
would crack and the rivers would boil and the fish would turn up their
bellies. He said that there would be no leaves on the trees in that
area.
There would be no grass, and strange bugs and beetles would crawl from
the ground and attack both serpents. He said that a great heat would
cause
the stench of death to sicken both serpents. And then, as the boy seer
is watching this fight, the red serpent reaches around the back of the
white serpent and pulls from him a hair. The hair suddenly turns into a
woman, a white woman who tells him strange things that he knows to be
true,
but he wants to hear them again. When this white woman finished telling
these things, he takes her and gently places her on a rock with great
love
and respect, and then he becomes infuriated at what he has heard, so he
makes a beeline for the north, and he enters the battle between the red
and white serpents with such speed and anger that he defeats the two
serpents
who have already become battle-weary.

"When he finishes, he stands on the chest of the
white
serpent, and he boasts and puts his chest out like he’s the conqueror,
and he looks for another serpent to conquer. He looks to the land of
the
hilly country and then he sees the Indian standing there with his arms
folded and looking so noble that he knows that this Indian is not the
one
that he should fight. The next direction he will face will be eastward,
and at that time he will be momentarily blinded by a light that is many
times brighter than the sun. The light will be coming from the east to
the west over the water, and when the black serpent regains his sight,
he becomes terrified and makes a run for the sea. He dips into the sea
and swims away in a southerly direction, and shall never again be seen
by the Indians.

"The white serpent revives, and he, too, sees this
light,
and he makes a feeble attempt to gather himself and to go toward that
light.
A portion of the white serpent refuses to leave, but instead makes its
way toward the land of the hilly people. The red serpent would revive
and
he would shiver with a great fear when he sees that light. He would
crawl
toward the north and leave a bloody trail, and he would never be seen
again
by the Indians. Deganawida said that as this light approaches he would
be that light, and he would return to his Indian people would be a
greater
nation than they ever were before." (11)

10.
Crazy
Horse ~

The Teton Sioux Chief Crazy Horse had a final
vision in
which "He saw his people being driven into spiritual darkness and
poverty
while the white people prospered in a material way all around them. But
even in the darkest times, he saw that the eyes of a few of his people
kept the light of dawn and the wisdom of the earth, which they passed
on
to some of their grandchildren. He saw the coming of automobiles and
airplanes,
and twice he saw the great darkness and heard the screams and
explosions
when millions of people died in two great world wars.

"But he saw, after the second great war passed, a
time
come when his people began to awaken, not all at once, but a few here
and
there, and then more and more, and he saw that they were dancing in a
beautiful
light of the Spirit World under the Sacred Tree even while still on
Earth.
Then he was amazed to see that dancing under the tree were
representatives
of all races who had become brothers, and he realized that the world
would
be made new again and in peace and harmony not just by his people, but
by members of all races of mankind." (12)

11. Sioux
&
Navajo, &c. ~

The Oglala Sioux have a myth of the end times:

"At the beginning of Time, a buffalo was placed in
the
West to stem the flooding waters. Every year this buffalo loses a hair,
and during every age, a leg. When he is without hair and legs the
waters
will flood in, and a world cycle will come to its end. It is said that
the buffalo now stands on one leg and is almost bald. (13, 14)

Several other Indian seers, and whole groups of
Sun-Dancers,
have received visions which deserve notice here. The Seneca Grandfather
Moses Shongo (died ca. 1925) foresaw a 25-year period of purification,
lasting until the year 2012 or so, during which the Earth will purge
itself.

In the late 1980s, while the Blackfeet people were
convening
their sacred Sun Dance, the skies darkened with black storm clouds that
hid the sun. Then there was utter stillness. The clouds withdrew from
around
the sun, and a white cloud appeared in its place. The cloud drew near,
changing its shape until it assumed the form of a man, suspended in
mid-air
and visible to the people. The being spoke, telling them "Do not be
disturbed,
but to be patient a little while longer, for He would come again and
lead
them out of the darkness into the light, and they would not suffer the
same way again." Meanwhile, the people were to purify themselves with
prayer
and sweat lodges. Thus, they would be prepared to receive Him when He
returned
to live with them and lead them to peace at home. (15)

The oral traditions of the Navajo also warn of the
Time
of the End. The Navajo expect a New Faith to come to them, like the
dawn.
At first, only a few people who are prepared and awaiting the event
will
be aware of it. Then more and more people, and eventually everyone,
will
see it. The Navajo chants say that there are two signs of the new
Spirit.
The first is a Nine-pointed Star that will come from the East and unify
all races and nations with love. The second sign will be a great chief,
also in the east, who will wear a headdress with twelve feathers. Each
feather represents a spiritual principle which he will teach.

According to the Navajo Unity Chant, "In the Day
of Unity
you will walk in beauty; the beauty will walk before you; the beauty
will
walk behind you; you will be surrounded by beauty. Through the
beautiful
teachings of a new Prophet of God, these meanings will become very
clear.
Man himself in this Age has found many ways to create beauty. With
these
beautiful things we must now have beautiful minds. With beautiful minds
we will have beautiful hearts. With beautiful hearts we will talk in
beauty.
The speech of all men will be in beauty... Those who speak with
beautiful
speech will lead the world to beauty... The center of this beautiful
speech
comes from a Holy Mountain..."

In May 1996, a 96-year old Navajo woman named
Irene Yazzie
claimed she was visited by two tribal deities at her hogan near Big
Mountain
in northeast Arizona. The deities, one of whom was identified as
Maasaw,
appeared as old men. They warned Yazzie that "drought, poverty and
desolation
on the reservation are all proof that the Navajos are in grave danger
if
they continue to forsake their traditions."

In June 1996, the Star Knowledge Conference and
Sun Dance
was held on the Yankton Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The
gathering
was convoked in response to a vision received by Standing Elk, a
spiritual
leader of the Lakota Sioux. According to the vision (and in fulfillment
of Sioux and Hopi prophecies), Native Americans were to share their
knowledge
about extra-terrestrial Star Nations. Shamans and spokespersons from a
dozen tribes came because they too had seen signs which indicated that
they were to reveal their secret oral traditions about their tribal
origins
among the stars, and the return of the Star nations.

In his address, Oglala Sioux holy man Floyd Hand
said
that "Each Native American tribe has its extra-terrestrial race
[ancestors].
The Star People will return in the latter part of the 1990s. Changes
will
happen as their time draws near. The first sign is floods, fire, and
earthquakes.
There will be a world Great Drought in 1997-1999. Many will starve.
There
will be destruction of electrical and sewer lines, loss of cities and
many
lives. In 1998 White Buffalo Calf Woman is coming back to Turtle Island
[North America]. There are four omens. The First Omen was the recent
birth
of a white buffalo calf on a White ranch, whose hide eventually turned
the other colors of the Four Nations (yellow, red and black). The
Second
Omen was the birth of another white buffalo calf to a Sioux rancher,
but
it died... The Third Omen was a third white calf, but no one is
listening
despite human suffering and death. The Fourth Omen will be the Star
People
coming and visiting in Santa Fe, New Mexico."

The Dakota shaman Wambdi Wicasu (Deer Man) advised
the
gathering that "The Star Nations are here to help us... We have to help
the Earth come back into balance. Time as you know it is coming to an
end,
and sooner than you think. There will be no more cars or TVs.

Judi Pope Koteen transmitted the following
prophecy as
it was told to Ghost Wolf, a Lakota pipe carrier and ceremonial leader:

"I will tell you a prophecy given to me by a
Grandmother
of the Seneca people. She told me we must work with the women to help
heal
their pain. In these times that are coming, she told me, we must learn
to help women regain their power. If the women do not reclaim their
power,
it is told, the world will be lost. Because the men no longer act like
men. They are not noble or proud, and they do not hold the words of the
Creator close to their hearts.

"Men have become sick with ego, sick with greed,
lost
in confusion. They are no longer leaders, so their children do not
learn,
and the children wander aimlessly through life, without spirit. A human
without spirit is like a ship without a sail. All you can do is float
around,
hoping to find a harbor.

"The Grandmother told me that in these times it
will be
the women who come to listen to these ways. It is the women who will
remember
who they are. Because women have lived for many thousands of years now,
knowing who they were but never being able to speak the truth through
their
mouths. When the people left the Good Red Road and began to walk the
black
ribbon of road, the women were suppressed because the women kept
warning
the men that they were wandering from the ways...

"Heal the women. Then the women can heal the men,
and
together they can heal the earth.

"I will speak to you now of another prophecy. In
the next
decade, the Star People that you call meteorites will come to this
earth
in answer to the Mother’s call for help. You see, we are all relations.
So the Star People are beings, and they are the planets, and the other
bodies in the heavens as well.

"The Sacred Mother is screaming for life and the
meteorites
will hear her cries and answer her call for help. They will hit the
earth
from the heavens with such force that many internal things will happen
as well as external. The earth will move as a result of the impact.
This
will cause the sacred fire that is the source of all life to the Mother
to move through her body. She is like a Great Bird within the egg,
trying
to crack out...

"The rains will change their fall and the winds
will alter
their course and what has existed for 300 years will no longer exist.
And
where there is summer, there will be fall. And where there is fall,
there
will be winter. And where there is winter, there will be spring.

"The animals and plants will become confused. The
animals
will think it is spring in the winter, and the cherries will come to
blossom,
and die in the frost. And in the summer, the winds will come from the
North
and the blanket of purity will fall and the fruit will die. And the
animals
that you raise will not be able to graze... These are the changes the
Mother
will warn us with.

"There will be great plagues that you do not
understand.
Many of these plagues are born from your scientists whose intentions
have
gone awry. Your scientists have let these monsters loose upon the land.
These plagues will spread through your waters and through your blood
and
through your food because you have disrupted the natural chain through
which your Mother cleanses herself.

"Only those who have learned to live on the land
where
the waters run pure... will find sanctuary. Go to where the eagles fly,
to where the wolf roams, to where the bear lives. Here you will find
life
because they will always go to where the water is pure and the air can
be breathed. Live where the trees, the lungs of this earth, purify the
air. Go to where the trees give, from their breath to you, the
cleansing
and the purity, to where they protect you from the plagues... Snow is
the
great purifier. Go to where the blanket of snow heals. Learn to live in
these places. You will live through the changes... There is a time
coming,
beyond the weather. The veil between the physical and the spiritual
world
is thinning; it is coming back to life..." (15)

12. Tecumseh ~

The great Shawnee chief, Tecumseh, was a warrior, a diplomat, a
peacemaker
and a prophet. He accurately prophesied to the day the great earthquake
at New Madrid, IL (December 18, 1811) several months before it
occurred.
Tecumseh and his brother organized a confederacy of tribes to fight the
menace of the United States. After the Battle of Tippecanoe (1811), in
which his brother Tenskwatawa was defeated, Chief Techumseh sent a
message,
delivered by prisoners he released to General William H. Harrison:

"Harrison will not win this year to be the great chief. But he may
win
next year. If he does, he will not finish his term. He will die in
office."

One of the prisoners argued, "But Chief Tecumseh, no president has
ever
died in office".

"Harrison will die, I tell you," Tecumseh said. "And when he dies
you
will remember the deaths of my people. You think that I have lost my
powers:
I who caused the sun to darken and red men to give up firewater. But I
tell you Harrison will die. And after him, every great chief chosen
every
twenty years thereafter will die. And when each one dies, let everyone
remember the death of our people."

Before Tecumseh left for the Battle of the Thames in Canada
(October
13, 1813), he gave away his possessions and made this prophecy to
Tenskwatawa:

"Brother, be of good cheer. Before one winter shall pass, the
chance
will yet come to build our nation and drive the Americans from our
land.
If this should fail, then a curse shall be upon the great chief of the
Americans, if they shall ever pick Harrison to lead them.

"His days in power shall be cut short. And for every twenty
winters
following, the days in power of the great chief which they shall select
shall be cut short. Our people shall not be the instrument to shorten
their
time. Either the Great Spirit shall shorten their days or their own
people
shall shoot them.

"This is not all. Each contest to select their great chief shall
be
marked by sharp divisions within their nation. Within seven winters of
each contest, there shall be a war among their people, either within
their
nation or with other nations, I know not which. Our people shall
prosper
only if they can avoid these wars."

When President Harrison died of pneumonia on April 4, 1841, many
began
to believe in Tecumseh's curse. Since then, every president elected in
a "0" year has been shot or otherwise died in office.

L.J. Jensen noted, in 1935, that since 1840, when Saturn and
Jupiter
began conjuncting in earth signs, every U.S. President who was elected
in those periods died during his term in office: William Harrison
(1841,
pneumonia), Abraham Lincoln (1865, assassinated), James Garfield
(1881),
William McKinley (1901), Warren Harding (1923), Franklin Roosevelt
(1945),
and John F. Kennedy (1963, assassinated). Only two presidents elected
at
20-year intervals before 1840 did not die in office: Thomas Jefferson
and
James Monroe. (30, 31)

The last conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn occurred in 1980 in the
air
sign Libra. President Reagan was shot soon after but was resurrected.
The
next conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter will be in 23o Taurus
in May 2000, affecting the reign of President-select George W. Bush,
Jr.

The 20-year cycle has been analyzed by the Fisher Exact
Probability
test and yields a statistical significance level of 0.00004, which is
to
say that there is only a very low possibility that the 20-year cycle is
due to chance.

The statistical and theoretical difficulties of analyzing the
cycle
have been treated by the mathematician Michael Capobianco using a more
conservative technique which still yields statistically significant
results
(0.012). According to Capobianco, "There is slightly better than one
chance
in a hundred that the seven deaths would have occurred in this way...
The
average interval of 20.44 years [between presidential deaths in office]
is nearly the same length as the interval for the double cycle in
sunspots
(21.22 years). Furthermore, the presidential deaths always occurred
near
the extreme dip in the sunspot cycle". In the opinion of astrologer
David
Williams, "The cycle became inoperative in 1981 because the
Jupiter-Saturn
conjunction fell in the air sign of Libra."

13.
Stalking
Wolf ~

In the 1920s, the Apache elder Stalking Wolf, who
was
the mentor of master tracker Tom Brown, Jr., received this horrid
vision
of the self-destruction of white men in North America. Only one sign
remains
to be fulfilled before the Purification begins:

"The Earth is dying. The destruction of man is
close,
so very close, and we must all work to change that path of destruction.
We must pay for the sins of our grandfathers and grandmothers, for we
have
long been a society that kills its grandchildren to feed its children.
There can be no rest, and we cannot run away; far too many in the past
have run away. It is very easy to live a spiritual life away from man,
but the truth of Vision, in spiritual life, can only be tested and
become
a reality when lived near society...

"I had a Vision... of the destruction of man. But
man
was given four warnings to that destruction, two of which gave man a
chance
to change his ways and two of which would give the children of the
Earth
time to escape the Creator’s wrath...

"They will be obvious to you and to those who have
learned
to listen to the spirit of the Earth, but to those who live within the
flesh and know only flesh, there is no knowing or understanding. When
these
signs, these warnings and prophecies, are made manifest, then you will
understand the urgency of what I speak. Then you will understand why
people
must not just work for their own spiritual rapture but to bring that
rapture
to the consciousness of modern man."

The spirit of a warrior appeared to Stalking Wolf
and
transported him to another time and place, saying:

"These are the things yet to come that will mark
the destruction
of man. These things you may never see, but you must work to stop them
and pass these warnings on to your grandchildren. They are the possible
futures of what will come to pass if man does not obey the laws of
Creation
and the Creator. There are four signs, four warnings, that only the
children
of the earth will understand. Each warning marks the beginning of a
possible
future, and as each warning becomes reality, so too does the future it
marks."

The first sign was of a famine in Africa. Stalking
Wolf
found himself in a dying village. The spirit of a shaman spoke to him,
saying:

"Welcome to what will be called the land of
starvation.
The world will one day look upon all of this with horror and will blame
the famine on the weather and the Earth. This will be the first warning
to the world that man cannot live beyond the laws of Creation, nor can
he fight Nature. If the world sees that it is to blame for this famine,
this senseless starvation, then a great lesson will be learned. But I
am
afraid that the world will not blame itself but that the blame will be
placed on Nature. The world will not see that it created this place of
death by forcing these people to have larger families. When the natural
laws of the land were broken, the people starved, as Nature starves the
deer in winter when their numbers are too many for the land to bear...

"These people should have been left alone. They
once understood
how to live with the Earth, and their wealth was measured in happiness,
love and peace. But all of that was taken from them when the world saw
theirs as a primitive society. It was then that the world showed them
how
to farm and live in a less primitive way. It was the world that forced
them to live outside the laws of creation and as a result is now
forcing
them to die...

"This will be the first sign. There will come
starvation
before and after this starvation, but none will capture the attention
of
the world with such impact as does this one. The children of the Earth
will know the lessons that are held in all of this pain and death, but
the world will only see it as drought and famine, blaming Nature
instead
of itself."

The warrior spirit again appeared and spoke to
Stalking
Wolf:

"It is during the years of the famine, the first
sign,
that man will be plagued by a disease... that will sweep the land and
terrorize
the masses. The white coats [doctors] will have no answers for the
people
and a great cry will arise across the land. The disease will be born of
monkeys, drugs and sex. It will destroy man from the inside, making
common
sickness a killing disease. Mankind will bring this disease upon
himself
as a result of his life, his worship of sex and drugs, and a way of
life
away from Nature. This, too, is a part of the first warning, but again
man will not heed this warning and he will continue to worship the
false
gods of sex and the unconscious spirit of drugs.

"The drugs will produce wars in the cities of man,
and
the nations will arise against those wars, against that killing
disease.
But the nations will fight in the wrong way, lashing out at the effect
rather than the cause. It will never win these wars until the nation,
until
society, changes its values and stops chasing the gods of sex and
drugs.
It is then, in the years of the first sign, that man can change the
course
of the probable future. It is then that there can still be hope. But
once
the second sign of destruction appears, the Earth can no longer be
healed
on a physical level. Only a spiritual healing can then change the
course
of the probable futures of mankind."

In the third part of his vision, "The landscape
appeared
drier, there was no vegetation to be seen, and animals lay dying. A
great
stench of death arose from the land... The sun seemed to be larger and
more intense; no birds or clouds could be seen; the air seemed thicker
still. It was then that the sky seemed to surge and huge holes began to
appear. The holes tore with a thunderous sound, and the very Earth,
rocks
and soil shook.

"The skin of the sky seemed to be torn open like a
series
of gaping wounds, and through these wounds seeped a liquid that seemed
like the oozing of an infection...

The spirit warrior said to Stalking Wolf, "Holes
in the
sky... will become the second sign of the destruction of man. The holes
in the sky and all that you have seen could become man’s reality. It is
here that man must heed the warning and work harder to change the
future
at hand. But man must not only work physically, he must also work
spiritually,
through prayer, for only through prayer can man now hope to heal the
Earth
and himself...

"These holes are a direct result of man’s life,
his travel,
and of the sins of his grandfathers and grandmothers. These holes, the
second sign, will mark the killing of his grandchildren and will become
a legacy to man’s life away from nature. It is the time of these holes
that will mark a great transition in mankind’s thinking. They will then
be faced with a choice, a choice to continue following the path of
destruction
or a choice to move back to the philosophy of the Earth and a simpler
existence.
It is here that the decision must be made, or all will be lost..."

The first sign was the famine in Biafra and the
outbreak
of AIDS. The second sign obviously refers to the huge holes now
appearing
in the Earth’s ozone layer. In Stalking Wolf’s third vision, "The sky
suddenly
turned back to a liquid and then turned blood red. As far as his eyes
could
see, the sky was solid red, with no variation in shadow, texture or
light...
As sunset drifted to night, the stars shone red, the color never
leaving
the sky, and everywhere was heard the cries of fear and pain.

"This, then, is the third sign, The Night of
the Bleeding
Stars. It will become known throughout the world, for the sky in
all
lands will be red with the blood of the sky, day and night. It is then,
with the sign of the third probable future, that there is no longer
hope.
Life on Earth as man has lived it will come to an end, and there can be
no turning back, physically or spiritually. It is then, if things are
not
changed during the second sign, that man will surely know the
destruction
of the Earth is at hand. It is then that the children of the Earth must
run to the wild places and hide. For when the sky bleeds fire, there
will
be no safety in the world of man...

"From this time, when the stars bleed, to the
fourth and
final sign will be four seasons of peace. It is in these four seasons
that
the children of the Earth must live deep in the wild places and find a
new home, close to the Earth and the Creator. It is only the children
of
the Earth who will survive, and they must live the philosophy of the
Earth,
never returning to the thinking of man. And survival will not be
enough,
for the children of the Earth must also live close to the spirit. So
tell
them not to hesitate if and when this third sign becomes manifest in
the
stars, for there are but four seasons to escape."

In his fourth vision, the voice of a child spoke
to Stalking
Wolf, saying:

"The fourth and final sign will appear through the
next
ten winters following the night that the stars will bleed. During this
time the Earth will heal itself and man will die. For those ten years
the
children of the Earth must remain hidden in the wild places, make no
permanent
camps, and wander to avoid contact with the last remaining forces of
man.
They must remain hidden, like the ancient scouts and fight the urge to
go back to the destruction of man. Curiosity could kill many...

"There will be a great famine throughout the
world, like
man cannot imagine. Waters will run vile, the poisons of man’s sins
running
strong in the waters of the soils, lakes and rivers. Crops will fail,
the
animals of man will die, and diseases will kill the masses. The
grandchildren
will feed upon the remains of the dead, and all about will be the cries
of pain and anguish. Roving bands of men will hunt and kill other men
for
food, and water will always be scarce, getting scarcer with each
passing
year. The land, the water, the sky will all be poisoned, and man will
live
in the wrath of the Creator. Men will hide at first in the cities, but
there he will die. A few will run to the wilderness, but the wilderness
will destroy them, for they had long ago been given a choice. Man will
be destroyed, his cities in ruin, and it is then that the grandchildren
will pay for the sins of their grandfathers and grandmothers...

"There is only hope during the time of the first
and second
signs. Upon the third sign, the night of the bleeding stars, there is
no
longer hope, for only the children of the Earth will survive. Man will
be given these warnings; if unheeded, there can be no hope, for only
the
children of the Earth will purge themselves of the cancers of mankind,
of mankind’s destructive thinking. It will be the children of the Earth
who will bring a new hope to the new society, living closer to the
Earth
and spirit." (16)

14. Mary
No-Eyes
~

Mary No-Eyes was an elderly Shoshone woman, blind
but
gifted with clairvoyance and prophecy. During the 1980s she told her
prophecies
to Mary Summer Rain, who recorded and published them. Speaking in
broken
English, Mary No-Eyes said:

"Earth Mother in bad labor. She gonna give birth
to something
great. She already in first labor hours... She be in great pain now...
It be great Phoenix that gonna rise up again just like all times ago.
He
already here... He been forming for years now. He all ready to break
out
of Earth Mother’s womb... She gonna give up great Phoenix soon..."

In her summary of "The Phoenix Chronicles", Mary
Summer
Rain listed some signs of the times and the birth of the Phoenix:

"Crouching/Massive Revolts & Government
Turnaround
-- Taxation refusals, war resistance, policy disagreements within
government
body, major upheavals within governments.

"Flying Free/Rise of the Age of Peace --- Total
equality
among people, discontinuance of all meat ingestion, construction
reforms,
cessation of most severe natural disasters, pollution-free energy
innovations
by way of the Earth’s magnetic field, rise of the Indian nation through
widespread adaptation of its Ways of natural living and deep human
philosophy."(17)

15. Sun
Bear ~

The Ojibwa shaman Sun Bear (d. 1993) was founder
of the
Bear tribe (Washington). In his book Black Dawn/Bright Day
(written
with Wabun Wind), Sun Bear gave warning of Earth Changes. (18)

According to Sun Bear, old Ojibwa pictographs,
written
on birch bark scrolls, tell this prophecy:

"[Our great ancestors] saw the coming of the
Europeans
to this continent. They saw the kinds of hats they would be wearing.
They
saw how they would look and the kind of canoes they would have. They
were
told that if these people came in a sacred manner and accepted the
knowledge
that was given them by the people of this continent, then it would be a
beautiful thing. We would walk as brothers and sisters on the land.

"It soon became obvious that the Europeans didn’t
respect
the sacred teachings of the land. Our prophecies said that if this
happened,
there would come a time when we would lie in the dust for 100 years or
more as if we were dead. Even our own people wouldn’t respect our
teachings,
and both Native and non-Native people would fail to understand them.
Some
Natives would turn from the teachings and be lured away saying, ‘This
is
a better teaching.’

"Our prophecies also said that at the end of that
100
years, we would be walking on our hind legs again. We would be alive as
if we were Earth spirits just reborn. We would stand up and have our
power
again. We would be able to call in the forces --- the thunder and the
lightning
and the storms --- and communicate with these powers all the time
because
this is part of our ancient knowledge. We would have these abilities
again,
and we would return to the sacred path.

"At that time, our sons and daughters would again
come
to us and ask to be taught the sacred ways. And the sons and daughters
of the people who had come across the great Water would come to us too.
they would say, ‘teach us, for we are about to destroy the Earth.’ This
is the stage we are at right now...

"Another prophecy of my Native people speaks of a
time
when the Earth would hold back her increase: one area would be too wet;
another too dry. One place would be too hot; another, too cold. this is
what we are experiencing now... Another part of the prophecy states
that
the rivers will change their courses."

Sun Bear also described one of his Dreams of
Destruction:

"Over a period of time I have had many, many
dreams that
showed the coming of the Earth changes... One reason that I organized
the
Bear Tribe as a rural-base community was because I saw in my dreams
major
destruction coming to the cities.

"I saw a time when the cities wouldn’t exist in
their
present state. During the changes the most dangerous places will be
near
cities with nuclear and chemical plants. But all major cities will
experience
a breakdown in services. In my dreams, I’ve seen great garbage piles on
the streets, the electric service out of order because of storms and
earthquakes,
broken water mains, and no more gasoline because of a major breakdown
of
the system.

"I also foresee race riots in the big cities, with
street
gangs engaged in uncontrolled fighting against each other, using guns
to
get what they want. When there is no money to pay their salaries, the
police
will not be there to protect the people in the city. Instead, in one of
my dreams, I saw the police banded together in groups calling
themselves
the ‘Brothers of the Gun.’ They were using their guns to take whatever
they wanted. This is already happening in other parts of the world...

"I see the cities being hit by major epidemics
caused
by bad water, toxic chemicals, or other things...

"In my dreams, I’ve also seen wheat crops that had
rusted.
They had candy-like clumps of rust, a serious disease that was
destroying
the crops. There were great black birds like crows or vultures, just
waiting.
With nothing left to eat, these birds were scavenging bodies as humans
died... In my dreams I see diseases like this continuing to cause great
destruction...

"In my dreams I’ve also seen small bands of people
living
very close to the Earth. I saw that other people would come to join
them,
and they would embrace these newcomers. All they said to them was, ‘You
have survived.’ There were no more ‘isms’ in the world --- not
Catholicism,
not Communism, nothing. We were all just human beings living on the
Earth
in a sacred manner...

"I see about one-fourth of the world’s population
surviving.
All those who do survive will come through with a higher level of
consciousness..."

As the United States of America swaggers and stumbles its way into
the
21st century, it does so in general ignorance of its prophetic
destination.
The establishment, growth, decline and regeneration of the USA was
prophecied
long ago, before 20th century globalist engineers took on the task of
manipulating
freedom. Meanwhile, we appear to be condemned to yet another cycle of
the
historical patterns that preceding civilizations have exhibited before
they disintegrated. We shall fulfill many ugly prophecies in the
meanwhile.
The following compilation comprises most of the corpus of predictions
by
Americans concerning the various fates and destinies of the USA in the
early 21st century.

16. George
Washington
~

The "Vision of Washington in the winter of 1777 is one of the most
fascinating
of all American prophecies, and perhaps the best-known. Washington is
said
to have told his vision to Anthony Sherman, who allegedly had wintered
at Valley Forge in 1777-78. Sherman recounted it to Wesley Bradshaw,
publisher
of the National Stripes, where it was published in 1880. There
is
no apparent evidence to corroborate the story, though Anthony Sherman
did
serve as a soldier in the Continental Army. When he wrote his pension
application,
however, he stated that at the end of 1777 he was under the command of
Benedict Arnold at Saratoga; he did not join the main force of the army
until 1778, just before the Battle of Monmouth. Here is the text:

"The last time I ever saw Anthony Sherman was on
the 4th
of July, 1859, in Independence Square. He was then 99 years old, and
becoming
very feeble. But though so old, his dimming eyes rekindled as he gazed
upon Independence Hall, which he had come to visit once more.

"‘Let’s go into the hall’, he said. ‘I want to
tell you
of an incident in Washington’s life --- one which no one alive knows of
except myself; and if you live, you will before long see it verified.
Mark
the prediction; you will see it verified.

"‘From the beginning of the revolution we
experienced
all phases of fortune, now good and now ill, one time victorious and
another
conquered. The darkest period we had, I think, was when George
Washington,
after several reverses, retreated to Valley Forge, where he resolved to
pass the winter of 1777.

"‘Ah, I have often seen tears coursing down our
dear commander’s
care-worn cheeks, as he would be conversing with a confidential officer
about the condition of his poor soldiers. You have doubtless heard the
story of Washington going to the thicket to pray. Well, it was not only
true, but he used to pray in secret for aid and comfort. And God
brought
us safely through the darkest days of tribulation.

"‘One day, I remember it well, the chilly winds
whispered
through the leafless trees, though the sky was cloudless and the sun
shone
brightly. He noticed that his face was a shade paler than usual, and
there
seemed to be something on his mind of more than ordinary importance.
After
a preliminary conversation of about half an hour, Washington, gazing
upon
his companion with that strange look of dignity which he alone could
command,
said to the latter:

"‘I do not know whether it is owing to the anxiety
of
my mind, or what, but this afternoon, as I was sitting at this table
engaged
in preparing a dispatch, something in the apartment seemed to disturb
me.
Looking up I beheld standing opposite me a singularly beautiful being.
So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed,
that it was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause
of
the visit. A second, a third, and even a fourth time did I repeat the
question,
but received no answer from my mysterious visitor except a slight
raising
of the eyes.

"‘By this time I felt strange sensations spreading
over
me. I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the being before me
rendered
volition impossible. I assayed once more to speak but my tongue had
become
useless, as if paralyzed. A new influence, mysterious, potent,
irresistable,
took possession of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly,
at
my unknown visitor.

"‘Gradually the surrounding atmosphere seemed to
fill
with sensations, and grew luminous. Everything about me seemed to
rarify,
the mysterious visitor also becoming more airy, and yet more distinct
to
my eyes than before. I began to feel as one dying, or rather to
experience
the sensations which I have sometimes imagined accompany death. I did
not
think, I did not reason, I did not move. All alike were impossible. I
was
only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my companion.

"‘Presently I heard a voice saying, ‘Son of the
Republic,
look and learn,’ while at the same time my visitor extended an arm
eastward.

"‘Now I beheld a heavy white vapor at some
distance rising
fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I looked upon a strange
scene. Before me lay, spread out in one vast plain all the countries of
the world --- Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. I saw rolling and
tossing
between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantic, and between
Asia
and America lay the Pacific. ‘Son of the Republic,’ said the mysterious
voice as before, ‘Look and learn.’

"‘At that moment I beheld a dark shadowy being
like an
angel, standing or rather floating in mid-air between Europe and
America.
Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled
some upon America with his right hand, while with his left he cast some
over Europe. Immediately a cloud arose from these countries and joined
in mid-ocean. For a while it seemed stationary, and then it moved
slowly
westward until it enveloped America in its murky folds. Sharp flashes
of
lightning gleamed through it at intervals, and I heard the smothered
groans
and cries of the American people.

"‘A second time the angel dipped from the ocean
and sprinkled
it out as before. The dark cloud was then drawn back into the ocean in
whose heaving billows it sank as before.

"‘A third time I heard the mysterious voice
saying, ‘Son
of the Republic, look and learn.’ I cast my eyes upon America and
beheld
villages and towns and cities springing up one after another until the
whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted with them. Again
I heard the mysterious voice saying, ‘Son of the Republic, the end of
the
century cometh; look and learn.’

"‘And this time the dark shadowy angel turned his
face
southward. From Africa I saw an ill-omened spectre approach our land.
It
flitted slowly and heavily over every town and city of the latter. The
inhabitants presently set themselves in battle array against each
other.
As I continued looking, I saw a bright angel on whose brow rested a
crown
of light on which was traced the word ‘Union.’ He was bearing the
American
flag. He placed the flag between the divided nation and said,
‘Remember,
ye are brethren.’

"‘Instantly, the inhabitants, casting down their
weapons,
became friends once more and united around the National Standard.

"‘Again I heard the mysterious voice saying, ‘Son
of the
Republic, look and learn.’ At this the dark shadowy angel placed a
trumpet
to his mouth and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the
ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa.

"‘Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each
of these
continents arose thick black clouds that were soon joined into one. And
through this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes
of armed men. These men, moving with the cloud, marched by land and
sailed
by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of the
cloud.
And I dimly saw the vast armies devastate the whole country and burn
the
villages, towns and cities which I had seen springing up.

"‘As my ears listened to the thundering of the
cannon,
clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal
combat,
I again heard the mysterious voice saying, ‘Son of the Republic, look
and
learn.’ When this voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his
trumpet
once more to his mouth and blew a long and fearful blast.

"‘Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone
down from
above me and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which
enveloped
America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the
word
‘Union’ and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the
other,
descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These
immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were
well-nigh
overcome but who immediately, taking courage again, closed up their
broken
ranks and renewed the battle.

"‘Again, amidst the fearful noise of the conflict
I heard
the mysterious voice saying, ‘Son of the Republic, look and learn.’ As
the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from
the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud
rolled
back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants
of the land victorious.

"‘Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and
cities
springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel,
planting
the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a
loud
voice, ‘While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the
earth, so long shall the union last.’ And taking from his brow the
crown
on which blazoned the word, ‘Union,’ he placed it upon the standard
while
the people kneeling down said, ‘Amen.’

"‘The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve,
and
I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld.
This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the
mysterious
visitor, who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, ‘Son of the
Republic,
what you have seen is thus interpreted. Three great perils will come
upon
the republic. The most fearful for her is the third. But the whole
world
united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the republic
learn
to live for God, his land and Union.’ With these words the vision
vanished,
and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein
had
been shown me the birth, the progress, and destiny of the United
States.’" (19)

The first peril foreseen by Washington was that of
the
War of Independence, the second danger was the Civil War, and the third
will be a second revolution and civil war, complicated by the invasion
of America by armies from Asia, Africa, and even Europe. The reference
to "a light as of a thousand suns" suggests that nuclear weapons might
be used to destroy the invaders.

17. Molly
Pitcher
~

Two women, both named Molly Pitcher, figured as
heroines
in the American Revolution, and sometimes they are confused with each
other.
The best known Molly Pitcher was Mrs. Mary Hayes, wife of an
artilleryman
in the Continental Army. At the battle of Monmouth she carried water
for
the troops, and so was nicknamed "Molly Pitcher". When her husband was
wounded, she took his position and kept firing the cannon for the
duration
of the battle. General Washington commissioned her as a sergeant to
reward
her bravery.

The other Molly Pitcher was a renowned seeress,
born Mary
(Molly) Diamond. She married Robert Pitcher, a shoemaker, when she was
20 years old.

Molly’s ability as a psychic gave her access to
British
military secrets which she passed on to the revolutionaries. When
General
Washington took command of the American Army at Cambridge on July 3,
1775,
Mary was presented to Washington as the "Daughter of our regiment".
Washington
said, "You have adopted a sibyl and a saint."

During the ceremony, Molly had a vision which she
late
told to Washington: an eagle hovered over him without unfolding its
wings.
Not until several years later was the eagle chosen as our national bird.

Molly Pitcher also predicted several inventions,
some
of which remain to be discovered: "Thousands shall go behind a curl of
smoke" (locomotives); "Carriages will go at lightning speed and none
shall
see what propelled them" (automobiles); "Men will ascend and descend
Jacob’s
Ladder of heaven like angels" (the NASA space program), and cable tv:
"Magnificent
music will be conducted on wires hundreds of miles away and will play
at
the instigation of man."

As foreseen by Molly Pitcher, in the future "Men
shall
arise who will command the storms, turning and directing them at
pleasure.
Great heat will be prevented by the use of clouds which can be turned
on
or off at will, and water shall be pumped from them where drought is
upon
the earth. The frozen water in winter shall be thawed by glorious
sunbeams
led by sun conductors and several other wonderful inventions." (20)

18.
General George
McClellan ~

General George B. McClellan, chief of the Union
Armies,
had a dream vision that saved Washington DC and the Union itself in the
second summer of the Civil War. The first published account appeared in
The
Evening Courier (Portland, ME) on March 8, 1862. (20)

At 2 a.m. of the third night after arriving in
Washington
to take command of the U.S. Army, General McClellan fell asleep while
studying
his map table. He had been asleep for about ten minutes when he
imagined
that the locked door of his room suddenly was thrown open. Someone
entered
and said in a powerful voice, "General McClellan, do you sleep at your
post? Rouse you, or ere it can be prevented the foe will be in
Washington."

The general felt as though he were suspended in a
void
of infinite space. The voice continued to speak "from a hollow distance
all about". He thought that he awoke from his sleep, but while the map
table remained, the surrounding room had vanished, and he gazed upon a
living map of the entire USA from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi
River. The mysterious being beside him appeared only as a ghostly,
man-shaped
vapor.

McClellan was amazed to see troop movements and
the entire
distribution of Confederate forces, and he was elated with the prospect
of the victory he could realize with this new knowledge. But then he
saw
Confederates moving into select positions which he had chosen to
occupy,
and he realized that the enemy knew his plans. The voice spoke:

"General McClellan, you have been betrayed, and
had God
not willed otherwise, ere the sun of tomorrow had set, the Confederate
flag would have waved above the Capitol and your own grave. But note
what
you see. Your time is short."

While the voice continued to describe the
Confederate
positions, McClellan wrote on his own map, making notes from the living
map around him. The rest of his vision concerns what is now our near
future:

"I had been conscious of a shining light on my
left that
steadily increased until the moment I ceased my task, when it became,
in
an instant, more intense than the noonday sun. Quickly I raised my
eyes,
and never, were I to live forever, should I forget what I saw. The dim,
shadowy figure was no longer a dim, shadowy one, but a glorified,
refulgent
figure of Washington, Father of his Country, and now, for the second
time,
its savior.

"My friend, it would be utterly impossible for me
to attempt
to describe the majesty of that returned spirit. I can only say that
Washington,
as I beheld him in my dream (or trance as you may choose to call it),
was
the most God-like being I could have ever conceived of. Like a weak,
dazzled
bird, I sat gazing at the heavenly vision from the sweet and silent
repose
of Mt. Vernon. Our Washington had risen, to once more encircle and
raise
up with his saving arms our fallen and bleeding country. As I continued
looking, an expression of sublime benignity came gently upon his face
and
for the last time I heard that slow, solemn voice saying something like
this:

"General McClellan, while yet in the flesh I
beheld the
birth of the American Republic. It was indeed a hard and bloody one,
but
God’s blessing was upon the nation, and therefore, through this great
struggle
for existence, He sustained her with His mighty hand and brought her
out
triumphantly. A century has not passed since then, and yet the child
republic
has taken her position, a peer with nations whose pages of history
extend
for ages into the past. She has (since those days, by the favor of God)
greatly prospered and now, by the very reason of this prosperity, she
has
been brought to her second struggle, this so far the most perilous
ordeal
she has to suffer in passing, as she is, from childhood to opening
maturity.

"She is called upon to accomplish that vast result
---
self-conquest --- to learn that important lesson --- self-control,
self-rule,
that in the future will place her in the van of power and civilization.
It is here that all the nations hitherto have failed, and she, too, the
republic of the earth, had God willed otherwise, would by tomorrow’s
sunset,
have been a heap of stones, cast up over the final grave of human
liberty.
But her cries have come up out of the borders like sweet incense unto
heaven.
She shall be saved. Then shall peace once more be upon her, and
prosperity
shall fill her with joy.

"But her mission will not then be accomplished,
for ere
another century shall have gone by THE OPPRESSORS OF THE WHOLE EARTH,
hating
and envying her and her exaltation, SHALL JOIN THEMSELVES TOGETHER AND
RAISE UP THEIR HANDS AGAINST HER.

"But if she be found worthy of her high calling,
they
shall be truly discomfited and then will be ended her third and last
struggle
for existence. Henceforth shall the Republic go on, increasing in
goodness
and power, until her borders shall end only in the remotest corners of
the earth, and the whole earth shall, beneath her shadowy wings, become
a Universal Republic.

"Let her in her prosperity, however, remember the
Lord
her God. Let her trust in Him and she shall never be confounded."

"I inclined my head to receive his blessing, ‘the
baptism
of the spirit of Washington.’ The following instant peals of thunder
rolled
in upon me, and I awoke. The visitor had departed and I again was
sitting
in my apartment with everything exactly as it was before I fell asleep,
with a few exceptions. The maps of which I had dreamed I had been
marking
were literally covered with a net of pencil signs and figures. I rose
to
my feet and rubbed my eyes, and took a turn or two around the room to
recover
myself. I had before me as complete a map and repository of information
as though I had spent several years in gathering and recording its
details.

"Our beloved, glorious Washington shall again rest
quietly,
sweetly in his tomb, until perhaps the end of the Prophetic Century
approaches
once more, laying aside the crements of Mt. Vernon, to become Messenger
of Succor and Peace from the Great Ruler, who has all nations of the
Earth
in his keeping.

"But the future is too vast for our comprehension;
we
are the children of the present. When peace shall again have folded her
bright wings and settled upon our land, the strange, unearthly map
marked
while the Spirit eyes of Washington looked down, shall be preserved
among
the American archives, as a precious reminder to the American nation of
what in her second great struggle for existence, they owe to God and
the
Glorified Spirit of Washington. Verily, the works of God are above the
understanding of man!"

Convinced of the divine nature of his dream and by
the
new details on his map, General McClellan immediately rode along the
Union
front and made strategic changes necessary to meet the Confederates’
plan
of attack on Antietam. Thus he succeeded in preventing the capture
of
the Capitol, and saved the Union. However, he failed to pursue General
Lee’s troops, and he was removed from command on account of that error.

19. David
Croly
~

David G. Croly (1829-1889) was born in Ireland,
and emigrated
with his parents to New York. He became a journalist for the New York Evening
Post and the Herald, and was editor of World
magazine.
Croly made his first prediction in 1871, foretelling in detail the
Panic
of 1873. He began writing the column "Sir Oracle" for the Real
Estate
Record & Builder’s Guide, intended "to be read today and judged
in the year 2000". The columns were reprinted in Croly’s Glimpses
of
the Future (1888). David Croly accurately predicted that Germany
would
instigate World War Two. He foretold of India’s independence from
British
rule, the dominance of the USSR, and new technologies such as motion
pictures,
photoelectric printing, air travel, and electric power. Croly also made
predictions that still await fulfillment. He saw that new states will
be
formed from Texas and California, and a new Constitution will be
adopted
under the pressure of radical changes and civil war. The USA will
expand
to absorb Canada, Central America, and the West Indies. (20)

20. Joseph
Smith
~

The Mormons have produced several prophets who
foretold
of a second civil war in America, and its invasion. The Mormon prophets
agree with each other and with George Washington, Gen. McClellan, and
several
European prophets in their descriptions of the horrors that will be
America’s
come-uppance. (21)

The Mormon Elder John J. Roberts recorded a prophecy made by
Joseph
Smith, the founder of the LDS Church, during a grand review of the
Nauvoo
Legion in May 1843. Theodore Turley also was present at the
conversation.
Smith said:

"I want to tell you something. I will speak in a parable like unto
John
the Revelator.

"You will go to the Rocky Mountains and you will be a great and
mighty
people established there, which I will call the White Horse of Peace
and
Safety. I shall never go there. Your enemies will continue to follow
you
with persecutions and will make obnoxious laws against you in Congress
to destroy the White Horse, but you will have a friend or two to defend
you to throw out the worst part of the laws, so they will not hurt
much.
You must continue to petition Congress all the time, but they will
treat
you like strangers and aliens and will not give you your rights but
will
govern you with strangers and commissioners; you will see the
Constitution
of the United States almost destroyed; it will hang by a thread, as it
were, as fine as the finest silk fiber.

"I love the Constitution; it was made under the inspiration of
God,
and will be preserved and saved by the efforts of the White Horse and
the
Red Horse [the Indians] who will combine in its defense. The White
Horse
will raise an ensign on the tops of the mountains of peace and safety.
The White Horse will find the mountains full of minerals and they will
become very rich. You will see silver piled up in the streets.

"You will see gold shoveled up like sand. Gold will be of little
value
even in a mercantile capacity, for the people of the world will have
something
else to do in seeking for salvation.

"The time will come when the banks in every nation will fail and
only
two places will be safe where people can deposit their gold and
treasures.
These places will be the White Horse and England’s vaults.

"A terrible revolution will take place in America such as has
never
been seen before, for the land will be literally left without a supreme
government, and every species of wickedness will be rampant. It will be
so terrible that father will be against son, mother against daughter,
and
daughter against mother. The most terrible scenes of murder, bloodshed,
and rapine that has ever been looked on will take place. Peace will be
taken from the earth, and there will be peace only in the Rocky
Mountains.
This will cause many thousands of honest heart to gather there, not
because
they would be saints but for safety and because they would not take up
the sword against their neighbor.

"You will be so numerous that you will be in danger of famine, but
not
for the want of seed time and harvest, but because of so many to be
fed.
Many will come with bundles under their arms to escape the calamities,
and there will be no escape except by fleeing to Zion.

"Those that come to you will try to keep the laws and be one with
you,
for they will see your unity and the greatness of your organization.

"The Turkish Empire or the Crescent will be one of the first
nations
that will be disrupted, for freedom must be given for the Gospel to be
preached in the Holy Land.

"The Lord took of the best blood of the nations and planted them
on
the small islands now known as England and Great Britain, and gave them
great power in the nations for a thousand years and their power will
continue
with them, that they may keep the balance of power and keep Russia from
usurping her power all over the world. England and France are now
bitter
enemies, but they will be allied together and be united to keep Russia
from conquering the world.

"The two Popes, Greek and Catholic, will come together and be
united…

"While the terrible revolution of which I have spoken is going on,
England
will be neutral until it becomes so inhuman that she will interfere to
stop the shedding of blood. England and France will unite together to
subdue
the nations; they will find the nations so broken up and so many
claiming
government, till there will be no responsible government.

"Then it will appear to the other nations or powers as though
England
had taken possession of the country. The Black horse will flee to the
invaders
and join with them, for they will have fear of the coming slaves again,
knowing England did not believe in slavery; fleeing to them they
believe
would make them safe; armed with British bayonets, the doings of the
Black
Horse will be terrible.

"During this time the White Horse will have gathered strength,
sending
out Elders to gather the honest in hart among the Pale Horse, or people
of the United States, as it was given by the inspiration of God.

"In these days God will set up a kingdom, never to be thrown down,
for
other kingdoms to come unto. And these kingdoms that will not let the
Gospel
be preached will be humbled until they will.

"England, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Holland,
and
Belgium have a considerable amount of blood of Israel among their
people
which must be gathered. These nations will submit to the kingdom of
God.
England will be the last of these kingdoms to surrender, but when she
does
so it will be as a whole in comparison as she threw off the Catholic
power.
The nobility know that the Gospel is true but it has not enough pomp
and
grandeur and influence for them to embrace it. They are proud, and will
not acknowledge the Kingdom of God, or come unto it, until they see the
power which it will have. Peace and safety in the Rocky Mountains will
be protected by a cordon band of the White Horse and the Red Horse.

"The coming of the Messiah among his people will be so natural,
that
only those who see Him will know that He has come, but he will come and
give his laws unto Zion, and minister unto His people. This will not be
His coming in the clouds of heaven to take vengeance upon the wicked of
the world.

"The Temple in Jackson County will be built in this generation.
The
saints will think there will not be time to build it, but with all the
help you will receive you will put up a great temple quickly. They will
have all the gold, silver, and precious stone; for these things only
will
be used for the beautifying of the temple; all the skilled mechanics
you
want, and the Ten Tribes of Israel will help you build it. When you see
this land bound with iron you may look to Jackson County...

"There is a land beyond the Rocky Mountains that will be invaded
by
the Chinese unless great care and protection are given... Where there
is
no law there is no condemnation, and this will apply to them [the
heathen
nations]. Power will be given to the White Horse to rebuke nations afar
off, and they will be one with the White Horse, but when the law goes
forth
they will obey; for the law will go forth from Zion. The last great
struggle
that Zion will have to contend with is when the whole of the Americas
will
be made the Zion of our God. Those opposing will be called Gog and
Magog,
and their power will be great, but all opposition will be overcome and
this land will be the Zion of our God."

Another prophecy uttered by Joseph Smith told how the Saints would
go
to the Rocky Mountains and become a great and wealthy people. In the
latter
days, however, Smith said:

"There will be two great political parties in this country. One
will
be called the Republican, and the other the Democrat party. These two
parties
will go to war and out of these two parties will spring another party
which
will be the Independent American Party. The United States will spend
her
strength and means warring in foreign lands until other nations will
say,
'Let's divide up the lands of the United States'; then the people of
the
US will unite and swear by the blood of their forefathers, that the
land
shall not be divided. Then the country will go to war, and they will
fight
until one half of the US Army will give up, and the rest will continue
to struggle. They will keep on until they are very ragged and
discouraged,
and almost ready to give up --- when the boys from the mountains rush
forth
in time to save the American Army from defeat and ruin. And they will
say,
'Brethren, we are glad you have come; give us men, henceforth, who can
talk with God'. Then you will have friends, but you will save the
country
when its liberty hangs by a hair, as it were."

21. Bishop
Charles
Evans ~

On Christmas night in 1882, the Mormon Bishop
Charles
D. Evans had a vision in which he saw what is now our present and near
future:

"While I continued to state and marvel at the
wondrous
work before me, all of a sudden the scene vanished, and a new era,
resultant,
however, from the forces of the religious agencies before mentioned,
burst
upon my view. The history of American Independence, with the actors
therein,
passed before me. The Constitution of the United States was emblazoned
upon an immense distance. Civil and religious toleration was general
throughout
the land. Man rejoiced in the privilege of worshipping God according to
the dictates of conscience. Prosperity reigned. Angels smiles. Heaven
approved.
The fetters of political and religious intolerance, forged by the
monarchs
of the eastern world, were sundered, shall it be said forever? Such was
my thought. I was full of joy at the sight; big tears of joy rolled
down
my cheeks, when all of a sudden, my attention was directed to a
personage
standing by my bedside, and who was attired in a white and flowing
robe.
Addressing me, he said, ‘Son of Mortality, look.’

"I looked and beheld a scene most revolting to my
senses,
from the fact that it was the reverse of the prosperity and religious
freedom
I had before witnessed. I saw the representatives of one branch of the
Republic holding in their hands fetters they themselves had forged.

"The personage, again addressing me, said,
‘Knowest thou
the meaning of these?’

"I answered, ‘No.’

"He replied, ‘These are the chains with which
certain
sons of the Republic, who have tasted the fruit of the tree of liberty,
desire to bind their fellows. These are they who seek to subvert the
cause
of human freedom. These seek to enslave one portion of the children of
freedom who differ from them in religious belief and practice. Know
thou,
my son, that their object is filthy lucre. They plot to take away human
rights, and to destroy the freedom of the soul, to possess the homes of
the industrious without fee or reward. Their souls shall be in
derision,
and the heavens shall laugh at their folly. Their calamity slumbereth
not.
But cast thine eyes eastward and look.’

"I looked and beheld that the bands that held
society
together during the reign of the republic, were snapped asunder.
Society
had broken loose from all restraints of principle and good conscience.
Brotherhood had dissolved. Respect for common rights and even the
rights
of life and property had fled from the land. I saw faction after
faction
arise and contend with each other. Political strife was everywhere.
Father
and son alike contended in these awful feuds. The spirit of deadly
hate...
passed through the Republic. Blood was written every banner. The spirit
of bloodshed appeared to possess every heart.

"Turning to the person in white I exclaimed,
‘Surely this
means the total destruction of our nation.’

"Touching my eyes with his finger, he replied:
‘Look again.’

"I looked and beheld that many who were angry with
the
rulers of the Republic, for the subversion of the Constitutional law,
and
their wholesale plunder of the public moneys, arose and proclaimed
themselves
the friends of the Constitution in its original form. These looked
around
for some others to sustain the country’s flag inviolate, pledging
themselves
and their fortunes and sacred honours to that end.

"A voice was suddenly heard declaring these words:
‘In
the distant mountain tops are to be found the true lovers of freedom
and
equal rights, a people who have never made war upon each other. Go
there,
for only there can your lives and property be secure from the spoiler.
There alone can the flag you love wave proudly for the protection of
all
people, irrespective of creed and color.’

"While thus engaged I cast my eyes to the far
west, when
suddenly appeared on Ensign Peak, near Salt Lake City, a beautiful flag
whereon was written these words: ‘Friends of Human Liberty throughout
the
world, all hail! We greet you under the flag of freedom, our country’s
flag.’ One shout of ‘Welcome’ from the Mountain Sons of Freedom rent
the
air. I beheld that the multitude wept with joy. The laws were again
administered
in purity. The people prospered. Tyrants were hurled down. All
religious
bodies were equally protected before the law. No North, no South, no
East,
no West, but one unbroken nation whose banner waved for all the world.
On this I awoke in tears of joy." (21)

22.
Orson
Pratt ~

Orson Pratt was a member of the Original Council
of the
Twelve Apostles of the Mormon Church. This self-explanatory vision of
his
was recorded in Vol. 20 of the Church’s Journal of Discourses:

"What then will be the condition of the people
when the
great and dreadful war will come? It will be very different from the
war
between the North and South. It will be neighborhood against
neighborhood,
city against city, town against town, state against state, and they
will
go forth destroying and being destroyed. Manufacturing will almost
cease,
great cities will be left desolate. The time will come when the great
city
of New York will be left without inhabitants." (21)

23.
Brigham Young
~

Guided by revelation, Brigham Young led a group of
Mormons
to Promontory Point overlooking Utah’s Great Salt Lake, where they
founded
Salt Lake City. Young left this prophecy among his Discourses:

"All that you know now can scarcely be called a
preface
to the sermon that will be preached with fire and sword, tempests,
earthquakes,
hail, rain and fearful destruction. What matters the destruction of a
few
railway cars? You will hear of magnificent cities, now idolized by the
people, sinking in the earth entombing its inhabitants. The sea will
heave
itself beyond its bounds, engulfing many cities. Famine will spread
over
the nation, and nation will rise against nation, kingdom against
kingdom,
states against states, in our own country and in foreign lands." (21)

24. John Taylor ~

The revelation given to John Taylor, as recorded by Wilford
Woodruff,
and published in Kraut's Visions of the Latter Days, describes
the
horror in America:

"I continued on my way passing through Omaha, Council Bluffs, and
Iowa,
and saw many women moving about in an excited manner. Sickness and
death
prevailed on all sides. The inhabitants of Illinois and Missouri were
in
dreadful condition, the men and women killing each other in the most
brutal
manner.

"Next I visited the City of Washington DC and found the place
deserted
and in ruins. From there I went to Baltimore and on the square, where
stands
the monument of 1812, dead bodies of the inhabitants of the place were
piled in heaps. While there I saw mothers cut the throats of their own
children and drink the blood in order to quench their thirst. The
waters
of Chesapeake Bay were so befouled from the effect of the dead bodies
that
the water could not be used. Sickness and death prevailed throughout
the
city and the stench was something awful..."

Taylor then visited Philadelphia and New York, which suffered
likewise:

"The sights that met my view on all sides were so horrible to look
upon
that it would be impossible for me to describe them.

"After these scenes had passed, I found myself standing on the
left
bank of the Missouri River, just oppsoite to where stood the City of
Independence
and soon discovered that the states of Illinois, Missouri, and part of
Iowa had been swept clean of its inhabitants and the surrounding
country
was a complete wilderness...

"I then looked over the country; in every direction as far as I
could
see, a similar condition prevailed. I then passed eastward above the
earth
and looking down saw many people coming west, mostly women who were
carrying
small bundleson their backs, and I thought it strange that there were
so
few men among them. They were on their way to the mountains, and I
wondered
how they could get there as the railroads were abandoned and the rails
were in bad condition..." (KRAUT, Ogden: The White Horse Prophecy;
1993, Pioneer Press)

25.
D. Modin
~

D. Modin is a well-known lecturer, astrologer,
newspaper
columnist, and author of Prophecy: 1973-2000. He received the
following
vision in 1947:

"I saw a new World War break out in the Pacific,
its center
in the Philippines. From there, it spread out to encircle the world. I
saw on one side the Christian forces, and on the other side the
Buddhist
and Mohammedan forces. Throughout the world, I saw destruction of the
land,
industry at a standstill, and people being killed almost instantly, on
a massive scale. I saw the people of a new faith in the far East
looking
to Palestine for safety.

"Then the war between the nations stopped, and I
saw revolution
in each of the nations and great natural upheavals, the intent of which
seemed to be to break up the old conditions.

"I saw the International Boundary at Blaine,
Washington,
torn up clear across to Nova Scotia, where it disappeared. The American
and Canadian governments broke up in chaos. I saw race rioting upon the
American continent on a vast scale. I saw hunger and disease throughout
the world. Strife and chaos swept away the world we know. It was my
impression
that from the start of the Third World War this was all a continuous
panorama,
with different stages of development appearing simultaneously. First,
world
conflagration, then the break-down of national governments, followed by
starvation, disease, and natural disasters. Then the scene ended." (21)

26.
Edgar
Cayce ~

The renowned American psychic Edgar Cayce was
called "The
Sleeping Prophet" because most of his messages were transmitted while
he
was in a sleep-like trance. Cayce was born in 1877. His psychic
abilities
began to manifest at the age of six, when he began to see and talk to
"visions",
some of which were recently deceased relatives. Cayce enhanced his
education
by sleeping with his schoolbooks under his pillow; he absorbed
information
by some unknown psychic talent which faded as he grew older. At age 21,
he developed a paralysis of the larynx. Doctors could not find a cause
or cure. Cayce healed himself by going into a trance and diagnosing his
problem. Then he prescribed medication and therapy which restored his
voice.
Thereafter, a group of Kentucky physicians began to consult with Cayce
to diagnose their patients. He required only the name and address of
the
patient in order to diagnose the person, regardless of the distance. (22,
23)

Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 documented "readings"
for
more than 8,000 people during his 43-year career (he died on January 3,
1945). He also made a number of prophecies in odd Englishing
which
warn of a future revolution in America:

"Though there may come those periods when there
will be
great stress, as brother against brother, as group or sect or race
against
race --- yet the leveling must come..

"There must eventually come a revolution in this
country
--- and there will be a dividing of the sections as one against
another.
For these are the leveling means and manners to which men resort when
there
is plenty in some areas and a lack of sustenance in others.

"When many of the isles of the sea and many of the
lands
have come under the subjugation of those who fear neither man nor the
devil;
who rather join themselves with that force by which they may proclaim
might
and power as right, as of a superman who is ideal for a generation to
be
established, then shall their own land see blood flow, as in those
periods
when brother fought against brother [Nazi Germany].

"Without the brotherhood of the world, there will
again
come Armageddon, and in the same there will be seen that the Christian
forces will again move westward!"

"The earth will be broken up in many places. The
early
portion will see a change in the physical aspect of the west coast of
America.
There will appear open waters in the northern portions of Greenland.
There
will be seen new lands of the Caribbean Sea... South America will be
shaken
from the uppermost portion to the end; and in the Antarctic off Tierra
del Fuego will be land, and a strait with rushing waters.

"When there is first the breaking up of some
conditions
in the South Sea and those as apparent as the sinking or rising of that
which is almost opposite it, or in the Mediterranean, and the Aetna
area,
then we may know it has begun.

"All over the country we will find many physical
changes
of a minor or greater degree. The greater change, as we will find, in
America,
will be the North Atlantic Seaboard. Watch New York!" [311-8; MS-7;
April
9, 1932]

"Lands will appear in the Atlantic as well as in
the pacific.
And Poseida will be among the first portions of Atlantis to rise again.
Expect it in ‘68 or ‘69. Not so far away!"

Obviously, this prediction is very late in coming
to pass.
Timing is the most problematic part of prophecy.

"As to changes... the Earth will be broken up in
the Western
portions of America. The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea.
The upper portion of Europe will be changed as in the twinkling of an
eye.
Land will appear off the East coast of America... There will be
upheavals
in the Arctic and in the Antarctic that will make for the eruption of
volcanoes
in the Torrid areas, and there will be the shifting then of the poles
---
so that where there have been those of a frigid or semitropical
[climate]
it will become more tropical, and moss and fern will grow.

"And these will begin in the period of ‘58 to ‘98
when
these will be proclaimed as the periods when the Light will be seen
again
in the clouds..." (3976-15; January 19, 1934)

"As to the conditions in the geography of the
world, of
the country, changes here are gradually coming about. Many portions of
the east Coast will be disturbed, as well as many portions of the West
Coast, as well as the central portion of the United States.

"In the next few years, lands will appear in the
Atlantic,
as well as in the Pacific. And what is the coastline of many an island
will be the bed of the ocean.

"Los Angeles, San Francisco... will be among those
that
will be destroyed before New York, even..

"Portions of the now East Coast of New York, or
New York
City itself, will in the main disappear. This will be another
generation,
though, here; while the southern portions of Carolina, Georgia, these
will
disappear. This will be much sooner.

"The waters of the Great Lakes will empty into the
Gulf
of Mexico rather than over the waterway [St. Lawrence Seaway]...

"If there are greater activities on Vesuvius or
Pelee
[Martinique], then the southern coast of California --- and the areas
between
Salt Lake and the southern portions of Nevada --- may expect, within
three
months following the same, an inundation caused by the earthquakes...

"Then [Virginia Beach] will be among the safety
lands
--- as will be portions of what now is known as Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois
and much of the southern portion of Canada and the eastern portion of
Canada;
while the western land, much of that is disturbed in this land..."
(272-35;
January 21, 1936)

"Even many of the battlefields of the present
[1941] will
be ocean, will be the seas, the bays, the lands over which the new
order
will carry on their trade as one with another." (1152-11; MS-3; August
13, 1941)

In 1936, Edgar Cayce had a prophetic dream of his
reincarnation
in the new USA:

"I had been born again in 2100 A.D. in Nebraska.
The sea
apparently covered all of the western part of the country, as the city
where I lived was on the coast. The family name was a strange one. At
an
early age as a child I declared myself to be Edgar Cayce who had lived
200 years before. Scientists, men with long beads, little hair, and
thick
glasses, were called in to observe me. They decided to visit the places
where I said I had been born, lived, and worked in Kentucky, Alabama,
New
York, Michigan, and Virginia. Taking me with them the group of
scientists
visited these places in a long, cigar-shaped metal flying ship which
moved
at a high speed. Water covered part of Alabama. Norfolk, Virginia, had
become an immense seaport. New York had been destroyed either by war or
an immense earthquake and was being rebuilt. Industries were scattered
over the countryside. Most of the houses were built of glass. Many
records
of my work as Edgar Cayce were discovered and collected. The group
returned
to Nebraska, taking the records with them to study... These changes in
the earth will come to pass, for the time and times and half times are
at an end, and there begins those periods for the readjustments..."

David Martinique, the author of Edgar Cayce
and the
End Times has claimed that Cayce received several terrifying
prophecies
of doom in the months before he died in 1945. His private journal was
left
to a friend with instructions that it be kept secret until October 30,
1994. The diary includes seven predictions for 1995-1999, and gives
this
warning: "Let all wise men heed the predictions herein. The earthly
reign
of the Lord truly is at hand." (24)

Martinique writes, "There’s no doubt that the
predictions
are accurate because a number of them have already come to pass. Mr.
Cayce
foresaw the advent of AIDS, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the
rise
of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein as an evil force in the Middle East ---
events that occurred prior to October 30, 1994, but were included in
the
diary. The thrust of the little book, however, keys on events that will
come to pass between 1995 and 1999...

"A wave of deadly plagues will sweep around the
planet,
killing over 100 million people and disabling as many more. Acid rains
will devastate the rain forests of South America and unleash new
viruses
that have been contained there for ages. An unknown source of radiation
will appear on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean and it will kill the
marine
life there, leading to worldwide food shortages. Earthquakes in New
York,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, California and Oregon will cripple
America’s economic infrastructure and complete collapse will ensue. A
huge
hole in the ozone layer will open over Europe in 1998, causing skin
cancer
for millions of people. In 1999, Saddam Hussein will attack Israel with
nuclear weapons. The USA will intervene, and World War III will
commence
in full force. China will defeat a western alliance led by the US. The
Chinese will force people to abandon religion and wear the "Mark of the
Beast" on their hands. In 1999, a child whom Cayce identifies as
‘Simeon’
will appear in Israel and call himself Messiah. He will introduce an
era
of peace." [but not yet]...

Martinique says, Cayce envisioned a virus similar
to the
Ebola virus. He says it will be spread by a cough or a sneeze --- and
it
will be 99.9% fatal... While pockets of survivors will remain alive
after
the plague has swept the globe, "Cayce believed the outbreak would
virtually
end mankind’s reign on Earth... The diary says there will be a brief
period
of peace and harmony in 1999, just before the virus strikes. After that
Cayce foresees the End times, just as the Bible itself foretells it."

Dannion
Brinkley ~

During a thunderstorm on September 17, 1975, a
bolt of
lightning struck a telephone line while Dannion Brinkley was talking on
it. The jolt threw him across the room, and his heart stopped. When he
was revived 28 minutes later, Brinkley told how he had watched as
medics
tried to start his heart but failed. Doctors pronounced him dead. He
traveled
through a dark tunnel toward a spirit being who led him to a glowing
crystal
city, radiating with peace. There, Dannion was brought before 13
angelic
"Beings of Light" who instructed him about events that would shatter
civilization
before the year 2000. Brinkley foresaw the Chernobyl nuclear disaster,
the presidency of Ronald Reagan, and "Desert Storm" in Kuwait.
According
to Brinkley, the USA will be shattered by "two horrendous earthquakes".
Years later he wrote the book Saved by the Light to describe
his
experience:

"The Beings came to me one at a time. As each one
approached,
a box the size of a videotape came from its chest and zoomed right at
my
face... The box opened to reveal what appeared to be a tiny television
picture of a world event that was yet to happen. As I watched, I felt
myself
drawn right into the picture, where I was able to live the event. This
happened twelve times, and twelve times I stood in the midst of many
events
that would shake the world in the future.

"At the time I didn’t know these were future
events. All
I knew was that I was seeing things of great significance and that they
were coming to me as clearly as the nightly news, with one great
difference:
I was being pulled into the screen.

"Much later, when I returned to life, I wrote down
117
events that I witnessed in the boxes. For three years nothing happened.
Then in 1978, events that I had seen in the boxes began to come true.
In
the 18 years since I died and went to this place, 95 of those events
have
taken place.

"On this day, 17 September 1975, the future came
to me
a box at a time...

"Boxes one, two and three showed the mood of
America in
the aftermath of the war in South-East Asia. They revealed scenes of
spiritual
loss in our country that were byproducts of that war, which weakened
the
structure of America and eventually the world.

"The scenes were of prisoners of war, weak and
wasted
from hunger, as they waited in the rugged prisons of North Vietnam for
American ambassadors to come and free them. I could feel their fear and
then despair when they realized one by one that no help would be
forthcoming
and that they would live out their remaining years as slaves in jungle
prisons. These were the MIAs, those military men considered to be
missing
in action.

"The MIAs were already an issue in 1975, but they
were
used as a starting point in the visions to show an America that was
slipping
into spiritual decline.

"I could see America falling into enormous debt.
This
came to me as scenes of money going out of a room much faster than it
was
coming in. Through some kind of telepathy I was aware that this money
represented
the national debt and that it spelled disaster down the road. I also
saw
people waiting in line for the basics in life like clothing and food.

"Many scenes of spiritual hunger came from the
first two
boxes as well. I saw people who were transparent in such a way that
they
were hollow. This hollowness, it was explained to me, was caused by a
lack
of faith in America and what it stood for. The war in South-east Asia
had
combined with inflation and distrust in our government to create a
spiritual
void. This void was added to by our loss of love for God.

"This spiritual depravity resulted in a number of
shocking
visions: people rioting and looting... kids shooting other kids...
criminals
stealing cars, young men firing on other young men from the windows of
cars... Most of the criminals were children or adolescents that no one
cared about... These kids had no family units and, as a result, they
were
acting like wolves...

"In the third box I found myself facing the Seal
of the
President of the United States... I saw the initials ‘RR’ [Ronald
Reagan]
emblazoned beneath his seal...

"Boxes four and five were scenes from the Middle
East,
showing how this area of eternal strife would reach a boiling point..."

Dannion foresaw two accords being signed by
Israelis and
Arabs, after which "the country of Jordan would exist no more...

"The fifth box showed oil being used as a weapon
to control
the international economy. I saw images of Mecca and then of the Saudi
people. While these images streamed before me, a telepathic voice said
that oil production was being cut off to destroy America’s economy and
to milk money from the world economy... Saudi Arabia was making an
alliance
with Syria and China... The date that came to me was 1992..."
Obviously,
this event has not occurred as scheduled.

Box six showed Brinkley the explosion of the
Chernobyl
nuclear reactors near Kiev in 1986. He also saw a second nuclear
accident
"in a northern sea so badly polluted that no ships would travel there.
The water was a pale red and was covered with dead or dying fish.
Around
the water were peaks and valleys that made me think I was seeing a
fjord
like those in Norway... The date on the picture was 1995..."
Fortunately,
this vision has not come to pass.

Box seven revealed the new environmental
"religion" that
would arise in the wake of the horrid genetic mutations caused by the
second
nuclear disaster. Boxes eight and nine were visions of China invading
Russia
and capturing Siberia. Boxes ten and eleven concerned America:

"Boxes ten and eleven came in rapid succession.
They revealed
scenes of the economic collapse of the world. In general terms, these
visions
showed a world in horrible turmoil by the turn of the century, one that
resulted in a new world order that was truly one of feudalism and
strife.

"In one of these visions, people lined up to take
money
out of banks. In another, the banks were closed by the government. The
voice that accompanied the vision told me that this would take place in
the nineties and would be the beginning of an economic strife that
would
lead to the bankruptcy of America by the year 2000.

"The box showed images of dollar signs flying by
as people
pumped gas and looked distressed. I knew this meant that oil prices
were
accelerating out of control.

"I saw thirteen new nations entering the world
market
in the late nineties. These were nations with manufacturing
capabilities
that put them on a competitive footing with the United States. One by
one
our European markets began to give their business to these countries,
which
slowed our economy even more. All this leads to a greatly weakened
economy.

"But the end of America as a world power came as
visions
of two horrendous earthquakes in which buildings were swaying and
toppling
over like a child’s wooden blocks. I knew that these quakes happened
sometime
before the end of the century, but I couldn’t tell where they took
place.
I do remember seeing a large body of water that was probably a river.

"The cost of rebuilding these destroyed cities
would be
the final straw for our government, now so financially broke that it
would
hardly be able to keep itself alive. The voice in the vision told me
that
it would be this way, while the images from the box showed Americans
starving
and lined up for food.

"At the tail end of box ten came images of warfare
in
the desert, a massive show of military might... The date 1990 came into
my head. That was the year of Desert Storm, the military operation that
squashed the army of Iraq for occupying Kuwait.

"Box eleven began with Iran and Iraq in possession
of
nuclear and chemical weapons. Included in this arsenal was a submarine
loaded with nuclear missiles. The year, said a voice in the vision, was
1993...

"The final visions from box eleven were like many
images
we now see of Sarajavo: modern cities crumbling beneath the weight of
warfare,
their inhabitants fighting one another for reasons ranging from racism
to religious conflict. I saw many towns worldwide where desperate
citizens
were eating their own dead.

"In one such scene, Europeans in a hilly region of
the
world were weeping as they cooked human flesh. In rapid succession I
saw
people of all five races eating their fellow humans."

Box twelve addressed the 1990s, and concerned a
man who
sounds much like the anti-Christ featured in Christian prophecies. As
Brinkley
described it, "In this box I watched as a biological engineer from the
Middle East found a way to alter DNA and create a biological virus that
would be used in the manufacture of computer chips...

"Before the end of the century, this man was among
the
richest in the world, so rich that he had a stranglehold on the world
economy.
Still the world welcomed him, since the computer chips he had designed
somehow put the world on an even keel.

"Gradually he succumbed to his own power. He began
to
think of himself as a deity and insisted on greater control of the
world.
With that extra control, he began to rule the world.

"His method of rule was unique. Everyone in the
world
was mandated by law to have one of his computer chips inserted
underneath
his or her skin. This chip contained all of an individual’s personal
information.
If a government agency wanted to know something, all it had to do as
scan
your chip with a special device...

"There was an even more sinister side to this
chip. A
person’s lifetime could be limited by programming this chip to dissolve
and kill him with the viral substance it was made from. Lifetimes were
controlled like this to avoid the cost that growing old places on the
government.
It was also used as a means of eliminating people with chronic
illnesses...

"People who refused to have chips implanted in
their bodies
roamed as outcasts. They could not be employed and were denied
government
services."

Fortunately, this vision also has not come true
--- yet.

"At the very end came a thirteenth vision.... The
vision
was in many ways the most important of all because it summed up
everything
I had seen in the twelve boxes. Through telepathy I could hear a Being
say, ‘If you follow what you have been taught and keep living the same
way you have lived the last 30 years, all of this will surely be upon
you.
If you change, you can avoid the coming war.’

"Scenes from a horrible world war accompanied this
message.
As the visions appeared on the screen, the Being told me that the years
1994 through 1996 were critical ones in determining whether this war
would
break out. ‘If you follow this dogma, the world by the year 2004 will
not
be the same one you now know.’ said the Being. ‘But it can still be
changed
and you can help change it.’

"Scenes from World War III came to life before me.
I was
in a hundred places at once... Somehow it was clear to me that this
final
war, Armageddon, was caused by fear... ‘The fear these people are
feeling
is an unnecessary one,’ said the Being of Light. ‘But it is a fear so
great
that humans will give up all freedoms in the name of safety.’

"I also saw scenes... of natural disasters..
People were
starving in this vision... I saw civil wars breaking out in Central and
South America and the rise of socialist governments in all of these
countries
before the year 2000. As these wars intensified, million of refugees
streamed
across the US border, looking for a new life in North America. Nothing
we did could stop these immigrants. They were driven by fear of death
and
loss of confidence in God.

"I saw millions of people streaming north out of
El Salvador
and Nicaragua, and millions more crossing the Rio Grande into Texas.
There
were so many of them that we had to line the border with troops and
force
them back across the river. The Mexican economy was broken by these
refugees
and collapsed under the strain...

"After the final visions, the thirteenth Being of
Light...
told me that everything I had just seen was in the future, but not
necessarily
cast in stone. ‘The flow of human events can be changed, but first
people
have to know what they are,’ said the Being... ‘Humans are mighty
spiritual
beings. All they need to realize is that love is treating others the
way
they themselves want to be treated.’" (25)

Gordon-Michael
Scallion ~

The modern seer Gordon-Michael Scallion has made a
considerable
reputation as a prophet of "Earth Changes", the imminent period of
cataclysmic
global super-quakes and vulcanism that will largely destroy
civilization
as we know it. His track record was spoiled by the failure of his
super-quake
predictions which he announced in The Earth Changes Report.
Scallion
warned of "California Super-Mega Quakes, 8-12 on the Richter scale ---
Predicted to occur no later than May 9, 1993". (26)

Several other prophets, past and present, have
warned
that super-quakes would occur in the latter days of this cycle of
civilization,
but none have been able to say just when it would happen. Scallion has
proven remarkably accurate about other quakes before and since then,
but
the "super-mega quakes" defy dating. In 1993, Scallion published the
following
psychic information about warning signs of impending disaster:

"If an 8.0+ (Richter scale) quake occurs in the
Indian
Ocean region --- Sri Lanka should be watched carefully --- then within
days the major earth changes shall occur in Japan, Alaska, Italy,
Martinique
and the western United States and Canada. As to the day and hour of the
‘big one’ [the California quake], this should not be seen as a singular
event. While May [1993] will be remembered as the month when the great
plates shifted, events shall occur even before this --- many [quakes]
exceeding
7 on the Richter scale occurring roughly along a line drawn from
Vancouver,
BC to Eureka to San Diego... The super-mega quake shall not have a
singular
epicenter. Rather, the land itself displaces its forces from north to
south.
The current Richter scale will not be able to measure its magnitude.
Later,
it shall be computed to have been in excess of 10 and a new scale shall
be created. The following areas of California shall experience
inundations.
Portions of San Diego shall go under water as well as much of the
Imperial
Valley. Tidal waves shall be created traveling south and southwest
along
the whole west coast. Los Angeles shall be the hardest hit and
initially
will be thought to be the epicenter... Multiple quakes shall occur. The
aquaducts feeding many cities such as Los Angeles shall fail and much
of
California shall be without power. Roads that cross other roads shall
come
down and become impassable. Portions of land from San Francisco to
Sacramento
shall be displaced by hundreds of feet in some areas. Numerous bridges
shall collapse... Migrations will be to Arizona, Oregon, Nevada, Utah
and
Idaho. Loss of life shall be great..."

In his "Prophecies for 1993", Scallion stated that
"I
would like to point out that prophecies are given to warn people so
that
they can prepare for what is to come, or to allow our aware
consciousness
to raise to higher levels, thus enabling us to alter a probable event.
NO PROPHECY IS GUARANTEED TO OCCUR. If this were the case it would
indicate
that we do not have free will. This is what Tribulation is all about
---
exercising our free will, a time period of choosing our spiritual
ideals,
and who we serve.

"The year of 1993 shall be known as ‘The Year of
the Great
Quakes’. The Earth’s magnetic field shall become erratic as it prepares
for its new course. In the United States, the first of these changes
will
see the beginning of the breakup of California starting with Los
Angeles,
San Diego, and San Francisco --- the Golden Gate damaged, the Imperial
Valley inundated --- a nation in shock... Many see the event as a
relief
and begin to rebuild. Mass migrations begin...

"With the beginnings of the shifting of the
magnetic poles,
the forces of nature react. Weather becomes erratic throughout the
world
--- trade winds shift, high winds occur... the polar regions begin to
melt...
Rain floods much of Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries.
Drought
ends in Africa and California.

"New plagues emerge --- diseases of the optic
system and
parasympathetic system... the body’s electrical system unbalanced due
to
interaction between the body and Earth’s magnetic field and
electromagnetic
pollution. Heart failures increase. The alternative healing emerges, so
more turn to natural healing methods, many forced by lack of
insurance...
New healers come forth in great numbers... The FDA begins to break up
and
reorganize...

"Riots in major U.S. cities beginning with Los
Angeles...
U.S. joins war in Europe. A sad time for the Middle East...

"Mass dreams of the coming changes now occur...
All are
warned by God. Children receive the clearest information and are told
by
spiritual beings that God’s messenger Michael watches over them...

"The Great Awakening increases --- all that choose
to
receive the message of His return do --- his light is seen in the sky.
Intuition and psychic abilities increase 10-fold for all humankind. A
time
of joy for those with eyes to see. Blessings abound..."

29. Lori
Toye
~

Lori Adaile Toye was a farmer’s wife and mother of
three
children, when in 1983 she received a dream vision. Four Ascended
Masters
(St. Germain, Sananda, El Morya, and Kuthumi) appeared to her and
unrolled
huge maps of North America showing imminent Earth Changes. In 1988, she
received more information from her teachers and compiled the now-famous
"I AM America Map of Earth Changes" (1990) and the New World Atlas.
The Ascended Masters say that only a change of heart can change the
world
and avert these disasters. (27)

According to Lori Toye, much of Washington,
Oregon,
California, Nevada. Arizona, Utah, Texas, and Louisiana will disappear
underwater. So too will the Mississippi Valley, the Great Lakes,
southern
Florida, and much of Maine.

"For thousands of years the spiritually
enlightened of
many cultures have told of a time when the earth would go through great
changes in its structure. Changes that would affect every aspect of all
cultures. Most of these predictions gave the end of this century as the
time period for the events.

"The ‘Time of Changes’ is now! The forces within
the earth
have been in progress for several years and are already manifesting
themselves
around the globe in many ways...

"The next twelve years will cause you to
re-evaluate every
aspect of your life. Everything that is not working: economics,
politics,
religions, personal relationships and values will be restructured. But
know this truth, the rewards are there! When these changes are finished
and the sky is cleared, the earth and its inhabitants will experience a
time of bliss in the spiritual and physical that has never been known
in
any other Golden Age.

"Many will instantly feel the truth of this
information.
Some will find it curious, then forget it. Only when they see the first
event, the fire in the heavens, will they remember and take
action.
Some never will. But, we all know inside what we need to experience for
our own growth... Time is short. We need to focus on how we may help
through
this transformation of the Earth...

"The Earth is a living organism like ourselves.
This cleansing
is a natural process and has happened several times in the past... The
changes, although natural, are having divine guidance. The last polar
shift
and the earth’s relation to other elements within the galaxy, are
calculated
mathematically. This interdimensional, mathematical alignment principle
allows doors to open between the etheric and the physical which have
never
been possible before. This new math will be given to us soon, and we
will
have the proof needed to finally connect the spiritual and the
scientific
into one process...

"The first major event will be a huge meteor
shower seen
everywhere. From this, a giant fireball will strike the Nevada desert.
This event will set an earthquake in motion that will sink the
southwest.
We will know beforehand. There will be time for evacuation before all
the
events.

"Three months after the meteorite, California will
sink.
The smoke from the meteorite, combined with the fires and volcanic
activity
set into motion, will cover the globe. The sun will be blocked for two
years. This ash cover will increase the greenhouse effect, melting the
ice caps very rapidly. Heavy rains will fall everywhere. The rains will
last for years. Mountains will erode and rivers will swell many times
their
present size.

"The increased ocean waters bulging at the
equator, will
cause the earth to become off balanced and shift its polar position.
The
Pacific coastline will rise. The earthquakes, sinking land, rising
ocean
and erosion will all contribute to a new coastline of America...

"After the sinking of California, the weight of
the rising
oceans will cause other earthquakes. One will split the Continental
Divide.
Two arms of the sea will form on each side of Denver making it a
seaport.

"A few years after California disappears, an
earthquake
will sink central Oregon and Washington... The ocean waters will
continue
to rise for about four years.

"Yes, there will be similar changes around the
globe.
America is the great focus of light for the Earth. We are the torch
bearers,
the people who hold the light for the rest of the world. America will
be
one of the first to experience the changes and one of the first to
overcome
it and again hold the light...

According to the Ascended Masters who transmitted
this
information through Toye, "Three polar shifts will occur a few years
apart.
The excess water at the equator will cause the spinning earth to become
unbalanced. As the rising oceans cover the land, the additional weight
will cause the land to sink. When the proportion of land to ocean
changes,
the other shifts occur. The final shift will be in the waters of the
Hudson
Strait at the south end of Baffin Island, about 2660 kilometers north
of
New York City..."

The IAM America Map of Earth Changes

30.
Jeanne
Dixon ~

The seeress Jeanne Dixon (1918-1997) was a
prolific predictor
of events --- and non-events. She accurately foretold the
assassinations
of Mahatma Ghandhi, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, and his
brother
Robert. Mrs. Dixon predicted the launch of Sputnik and the sinking of
the
submarines USS Thresher and Scorpion. Her successful predictions
include
the political defeat of Dewey by Harry Truman, the landslide election
of
Dwight Eisenhower, the demise of Nikita Kruschev, and the plane crash
that
killed UN Secretary Dag Hammarskold. (28)

In 1945, Dixon warned an official of the Indian
diplomatic
mission in Washington DC that "On June 2, 1947, your country, India,
will
split in two as the result of an internal controversy". It happened so.
During the summer of 1947, she predicted that "Mahatma Ghandhi will be
assassinated within the next six months. He will be killed by someone
they
least suspect". This also came true.

Jeanne Dixon also made hundreds of trivial
predictions
about celebrities and insignificant events (usually wrong), earning her
the sobriquet of a "gossip prophet". As she explained it, "When a
psychic
vision is not fulfilled as expected, it is not because what has been
shown
is not correct; it is because I have not interpreted it correctly."

One of Jeanne Dixon’s prophecies, published in the
1970s,
was fulfilled in part when Mehmed Agca attacked Pope John Paul II:

"During this century one pope will suffer bodily
harm.
Another will be assassinated. The assassination will be the final blow
to the office of the Holy See. This pope will be the same one who will
be chosen in the not too distant future but whose election will not be
approved by the Roman clergy. His influence, however, will be such that
he will win out over the objections of his opponents. While this pope
will
be the last one ever to reign as singular head of the Church, the
beginnings
of this change will occur with one of his predecessors who will give
far-reaching
powers to his cardinals. These same cardinals will use their powers to
replace him with one more to their liking."

Like Nostradamus (C. 1:60) and St. John (Revelation
8: 8-12), Jeanne Dixon saw that Earth will be struck by a comet. Her
timing
was premature:

"I have seen a comet strike our Earth around the
middle
of the 1980s. Earthquakes and tidal waves will befall us as a result of
the tremendous impact of this heavenly body in one of our great
oceans..."

Like several other prophets, Dixon, also has
foreseen
the advent of the Antichrist and the False Prophet:

"Satan is now coming into the open to seduce the
world
and we should be prepared for the inevitable events that are to follow.
I have seen that the United States is to play a major role in this
development...
I have seen a ‘government within a government’ develop in the US within
the last few years... I see this ‘government within a government’ being
controlled and financed by a well-oiled political ‘machine’ of one of
our
leading political families. With their eye on the White House, I see
them
discredit any man who occupies it without their approval, no matter how
good his political programs may be.

"They will --- through political intimidation,
propaganda,
and illegal sixth-column activities --- make every effort to show the
nation
that only their man, the one who heads their ‘machine’, has the sole
right
to occupy the White House. Their campaign is going to cause great harm
to our nation both here and abroad.

"I ‘see’ this group succeed in taking over de
facto control
of the country. They will give rise to an upheaval in our social
structure
as never before seen. They will bring about increased social unrest and
great discontent. Foreign subversive elements will --- as they did in
the
1960s --- infiltrate the unruly factions and cause renewed fighting on
the nation’s campuses and in racial ghettos.

"All of the evil in the masses will be swept
toward an
unknown frenzy by this ‘machine’.

"I ‘see’ a member of this ‘machine’ ascend to
power in
New York City, enforcing new laws and regulations that will affect many
households of that great metropolis. [Obviously, the Rockefellers are
indicated
here]

"The social and religious chaos generated by this
political
machine throughout the United States will prepare the nation for the
coming
of the prophet of the Antichrist. This political unit of the East will
be the tool of the serpent in delivering the masses to him.

"The False Prophet’s domain shall be the
intellectual
seduction of mankind. It means a mixture of political, philosophical,
and
religious ideology that will throw the populations of the world into a
deep crisis of faith in God... One of his first duties and
responsibilities
in readying the world for the advent of his ‘master’ is to manipulate
the
available propaganda machines. With teaching and propaganda the prophet
will cause people not merely to accept the Antichrist but rather to
desire
him with positive enthusiasm to create the conditions of his coming and
to participate in organizing the frightful and terrifying despotism of
his World Empire.

"[The seemingly miraculous phenomena he will
produce]
will not be supernatural or preternatural events but rather prodigies
of
science and human achievements, but interpreted in such a way as to
lead
men away from God and toward the worship of the Antichrist... The
prophet
of the Antichrist and the Antichrist himself will be specific and
identifiable
persons!"

31. The
Cycle
of Power, Affiliation & War ~

After two decades of study that began in the
1950s, David
C. McClelland, professor of psychology at Harvard University,
identified
a remarkable and alarming pattern of fluctuation between the
psychological
Need for Power and the Need for Affiliation that repeats throughout the
history of the United States. McClelland and his associates found the
pattern
while studying the relationship between individual motivations and
social
changes as reflected in nations’ literature and historical events.
Literature
(particularly children’s stories) collected from around the world and
scored
for motivational content in terms of standardized meanings such as
Power,
Achievement, and Affiliation (working together), was found to reflect
the
motivational tendencies of a nation in an overall pattern which, in the
past history of the United States, has typically preceded war by
several
years (Fig. 6). (32)

McClelland’s theory proposes that "Wars are a
function
of certain motivational patterns within a nation. The motives are the
Need
for Power (strength, authority, control over people and events) and the
Need for Affiliation, or, roughly, personal love --- as both of these
motives
are reflected in a country’s popular literature. [In England and the
United
States,] when the Need for Power is high, and higher than the Need for
Affiliation, war tends to follow about 15 years later...

"The Need for Affiliation rises. Once it has risen
as
high as an already fairly high Need for Power, it then drops, leaving
the
Need for Power on top. A large-scale reform movement typically follows.
This reform, in time, is followed by war.

"The measured Need for Affiliation rises to match
the
Need for Power. This introduces a conflict, which ultimately leads to a
reform movement, eventually leading to war."

While the pattern is not necessarily one of causal
relationships,
it does suggest of motivations that seem to run before events, thus
enabling
us to predict war. According to McClelland, "We might be able to show
that
the human motives in question not only precede but somehow cause
war. And if we could do [this], we might take an intelligent step or
two
toward prevention."

McClelland, et al., first studied English
literature
in the hope of finding patterns in their data, "particularly of any
relationship
between the rise and fall of motivations and the course of historical
events.
The overall pattern of motivations an events suggested, first of all,
that
a combination of high Need for Power and low Need for Affiliation was
either
associated with war or else led to war... Various other motive
combinations
--- such as low Need for Power, high Need for Affiliation, or a balance
between the two --- seemed unrelated to war.

"Periods of balance were associated with religious
reform
and revival. And yet a balance between these two motives is apparently
unstable, and what commonly happens is that Need for Affiliation drops
before Need for Power. Once again, the stage is set for war... High
Need
for power together with low Need for Affiliation... is associated with
totalitarian regimes or ruthlessness... The Power-Affiliation gap [is
associated]
with a high level of internal political violence... There is something
about religious revival and reform that often seems to lead to war; the
personalities of the reformers may be partly responsible. However
altruistic
and idealistic they are, their Need for Affiliation tends to remain
low.
We might call them lovers of mankind in the abstract rather than lovers
of men and women. They are typically bent on the salvation of others
regardless
of anybody’s feelings in the matter. They tend, moreover, to be
excellent
organizers and managers, leaders and officers. This last point is
crucial,
for it suggests that certain idealistic individuals serve as
actualizers
or executors of a nation’s motivational tendencies, translating
sentiments
into events. If these motivations favor group discipline and hostility
toward outgroups, violence could result. Organizational behavior, in
other
words, appears to be one basic link between the Power-Affiliation gap
perceived
in popular literature and the rationalized violence known as war.

"What is paradoxical about reform movements is
that they
have an unintended consequence; they seem to create an orientation
toward
action that makes war more likely. Before reformist regimes --- and in
recent years during them --- the Need for Power is high, the Need for
Affiliation
is low, and a martial spirit prevails, which leads to zealous actions
to
right wrongs on behalf of the oppressed. This atmosphere of action has
led to war so many times in the history of the United States and
England
that it is hard to think such consequences are accidental."

Nostradamus
~

The great 16th century French prophet Nostradamus
also
foresaw the birth and growth of the United States in C. 1:50:

"Of the aquatic triplicity will be bornOne who will make Thursday for its holidayIts fame, praise, rule its power to growBy land and sea tempest to the Orientals."

The USA is surrounded by the "aquatic triplicity"
of the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico, and the nation
celebrates
the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday in November. In World War Two, the
USA became a "tempest to the Orientals", culminating in the firestorms
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. (29)

In C. 2:89, Nostradamus previewed the relationship
of
Russia and the USA:

"One day the two great masters will be friendsTheir great power will be seen increasedThe new land will be at its heightTo the bloody one the number recounted."

Line four refers to the US Presidential election
of 2000,
when the Florida vote was recouted at the behest of Al Gore, whose name
means blood. Nostradamus also predicted a possible future war between
China
and the USA:

"Libra will see the Hesperias governHolding the monarchy of heaven and earth:No one will see the forces of Asia perish,Only seven hold the hierarchy in order." (C. 4:50)

Libra here represents law and the balance of
justice,
which is exalted in the USA (Hesperias, the Lands of the West). The USA
also has dominated in space ("heaven") and on Earth. Line 3 suggests
that
the Chinese army will be destroyed from a long distance ("No one will
see..."),
presumably by nuclear or biochemical weapons. Line 4 indicates that a
cabal
will rule China or the USA or the world.

Novus
Ordo Seculorum ~

More than 3,000 years ago, the great classical
philosophers
conceived of an Aristotelian polity (a tripartite balance of democracy,
republicanism, and oligarchy) as an ideal pattern of government. The
principles
they elucidated have been nurtured through the centuries by certain
secret
societies in order to create the background of common knowledge
necessary
to eventually establish such a civilization in North America. The Roman
Stoic philosopher Seneca (62 BC-30 AD) was aware of this plan, and made
a prophecy of America:

The English program for establishing permanent
settlements
along the Atlantic coast was under the direction of Sir Francis Bacon,
who was head of the European Rosicrucian mystics of his day. Those men
made sure that the American colonists were thoroughly indoctrinated
with
the principles of religious tolerance, political democracy and
republicanism,
social equality and capitalism. Many members of the Rosicrucians and
other
secret societies emigrated to America and established their
organizations
in the "New Atlantis". Their occult ideas were incorporated into the
designs
of the Great Seal, the flag, and other American symbols, and their
societies
still exist and are active today.

The eminent occultist Manly P. Hall wrote of this
in The
Secret Destiny of America: "The American nation desparately needs
this
vision of its own purpose... America’s true destiny will remain a
secret
as long as great masses of people have no knowledge whatsoever that
enlightened
humanitarians through thousands of years have in their own and
succeeding
generations remained united on the high purpose of eventually
instituting
democratic rule throughout the entire world. It is necessary to know,
too,
that it was anciently planned that leadership would fall to America ---
to a nation to be established on the Northern continent of the Western
Hemisphere...

"Long before Columbus, they were aware of the
existence
of the Western Hemisphere, and selected it to be the site of the
philosophic
empire. the American continent was set apart for establishing here a
great
democratic nation, centuries before the founding fathers and colonists
envisioned the Union..." (20)

Unfortunately, the elitist social engineers of the
so-called
New World Order have utterly subverted the Constitution and Bill of
Rights.
The probable result may well be the hideous revolution and civil war
foreseen
by prophets.

In his "Anatomy of Revolution", Crane Brinton
compared
the periods preceding four major revolutions: the American, French,
Russian
and the Glorious Revolution of England (1642). Those periods all had
ominous
similarities to the present condition of the United States. All major
revolutions
witnessed the following:

"(1) A long period of economic growth followed by
a period
of sluggish growth or decline; (2) The frustration of rising
expectations
of the middle class and lower class, who had become used to getting a
little
more each year; (3) A ruling class divided and inept with many feeling
guilty about their position or being overly sympathetic with the
underdogs;
(4) A significant increase in corruption, crime, and general
immorality;
(5) Increased rebelliousness and alienation of youth from the older
generation;
(6) Desertion of the establishment by the intellectuals and increased
indifference
to politics on the part of the general population, making it possible
for
small, tightly organized groups to wield influence, or to take over..."
(33)

In The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,
Edward
Gibbon showed several basic reasons why the great civilizations
deteriorated
and died. All these conditions exist in the USA today: "(1) Crumbling
dignity
and sanctity of the family and home; (2) High taxes; (3) 'Bread and
circuses'
entertainment --- i.e., televised sports, soap operas, etc.; (4)
Ever-increasing
pleasure-seeking, decadence, and immorality; (5) Massive buildup of
military
forces; (6) Weak leadership; (7) the decay of individual
responsibility;
and (8) Religious apostasy."

All of the above symptoms are very evident in
modern America.
The average span of the world’s great civilizations has been about 200
years. The USA is just over 200 years old and stumbling headlong into
the
home stretch of this historical cycle.

In The Decline and Fall of the Athenian
Republic,
Tyler wrote of great civilizations, that "They begin in Bondage. They
then
go from Bondage to Spiritual Faith. With that Spiritual Faith they
develop
great Courage. That Great Courage leads to Liberty. Liberty then leads
to Abundance. Abundance then leads to Selfishness. This Selfishness
then
leads to Complacency. The Complacency grows into Apathy. Apathy then
degenerates
into Dependence. This Dependence brings them full circle back into
Bondage."

The USA is in the last stages (apathy and
dependence)
of the cycle, and now is a virtual police state. Because so much of the
current federal government is illegitimate and corrupt, in 1994 it
became
possible and necessary for American patriots to issue another
Declaration
of Independence, in which every complaint made against King George III
in 1776 was paraphrased and reiterated against the modern regime.

Using the phony Drug War as its excuse, the
federal government
has abandoned the Constitution and surrendered to the Communist model
of
suppression by imposing pre-trial detention without bail, mandatory
minimum
prison sentences, and capitol punishment for drug crimes, plus
increased
fines, forfeitures and asset seizures, "good faith" exceptions to the
exclusionary
rule, and other aberrant violations of justice. America has become a
police
state because of its insane drug laws and craven citizens. Perhaps we
have
gotten the government we deserve. Certainly, we have proven the truth
expressed
by Goethe, that "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who
falsely
believe they are free."

The Drug War is perpetuated by totalitarians
merely to
satisfy their lust for power. The skillful propaganda they generate has
created an unwarranted fear of drugs that terrorizes hundreds of
millions
of ignorant people. Actually, drugs such as Cannabis and LSD are very
powerful
tools for liberation, just as are guns and printing presses. Yet,
rather
than enjoy medical freedom of choice, Americans have surrendered their
divine rights to the needs of the New World Order. This fraud is
nothing
new, as William Pitt observed in a speech before the British House of
Commons
in 1783: "Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human
freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."

The Drug War is a coup d’etat. The real issue is:
Freedom,
which is self-control, not governmental rule. The Drug War is not being
fought against molecules, but against ourselves and freedom. The Drug
War
is conquering America law by law, right by right, until nothing will
remain
to do but fight the Second Civil War. The Drug War is a fraud that has
cost Americans their civil rights, over 150 billion tax dollars, and at
least 100 million man-years spent in prisons, corrupt law enforcement,
and other associated costs including countless deaths at home, in the
streets,
and abroad. We live in unmanly fear of our government. We have been
rendered
dumb and ignorant by an open conspiracy that suckles upon like a
vampire,
eats our children, and aborts our birthrights.

Enough! Rather, as Albert Camus wrote, "Let us
rejoice
as men because a prolonged hoax has collapsed and we clearly see what
threatens
us."

Abraham Lincoln is attributed with having stated
that
"Prohibition... goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to
control a man’s appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things
that are not crimes... A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very
principles
upon which our government was founded." (8 December 1840)

Lincoln also was of the opinion that "These rights
are
inherent and inalienable, that they can never be surrendered or
alienated,
but by idiots or madmen, and all the acts of idiots and lunatics are
void,
and not obligatory, by all the laws of God and man..."

Samuel Adams asserted the truth of the matter
thus: "If
men, through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce or give
up
any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand
end
of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to
freedom
being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to
alienate
this gift and voluntarily become a slave."

Benjamin Franklin wrote likewise in 1755: "They
that can
give up an essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve
neither liberty nor safety."

In a letter to W.S. Smith (January 30, 1787),
Thomas Jefferson
wrote: "What country before ever existed a century and a half without a
rebellion?... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a
rebellion... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers
are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit
of resistance? Let them take arms... the tree of liberty must be
refreshed
from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its
natural
manure."

As Abe Lincoln reminded us, "This country, with
its institutions,
belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of
the existing government they can exercise their constitutional right to
dismember or overthrow it" (as reserved in Articles 9 and 10 of the
Bill
of Rights).

You have been forewarned. Be prepared.

Politics aside, North America faces eventual, inevitable disaster
from
natural causes, such as the swelling caldera of Yellowstone Park; when
that erupts again, it will end most life on the continent. The land
also
is threatened by a potential "mega-tsunami" that will surge upon the
east
coast when the Canary Islands' Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma erupts
and its west side collapses into the Atlantic Ocean. The resulting
landslide
will generate a 2000-feet high wall of water that will race at speeds
up
to 450 mph (720 kmh). When it strikes the east coast of the USA, it
would
devastate the coast up to 12 miles inland.

A smaller but similar event occurred in 1958, when a rockslide on
the
eastern wall of the Gilbert Inlet created a wave 1500 feet high that
destroyed
the community of Lituya Bay, Alaska. In 1998, a huge tsunami caused by
an underwater landslide killed almost 2,000 people when it inundated a
large part of Papua New Guinea.

The dominant position of the USA in the world, and the modern
civilization
we suffer upon the earth, will collapse because it is unsustainable.
The
business philosophy of cancerous growth that prevails in the modern
global
economy cannot continue past 2010 AD without the rapid development of
cosmic
energy sources to replace oil and other hydrocarbon fuels.We cannot
discover
and deliver oil fast enough to meet demand, which will become
overwhelming
within 10 years. War, famine, disease and tyranny inevitably follow.
Suffocation
will ensue when the atmospheric oxygen is sufficiently depleted within
about 40 years, due to combustion.
